aint-caint-ting-ning
(always somebody here
there somewhere else-ing)
i’m here glancing at you
there peeking back
practicing not seeing me too
!quickly!
looking off there some other way
so i aint seeing how
you seeing me acting like
i aint seeing you neither
this is how we’re being together
without us making like it’so
here squeezing into crowds
trying so hard to be trying
to be acting like we really
aint really trying
to be avoiding each one another
avoiding each other’s other
of course this aint the case
. . . aint feeling good about me
so it got’s to be being the same
how i’m regarding you
not feeling good about me
aint feeling good about you
automotons entropy-nating
like the gas we’re fart’n
breathing here all together
randoming infectioning deflectionings
in stealthy eyes inspecting reflectionings
of us just being another one
of another’s somebody’s somebody else
