flattery
in its most sincerest form
and i blush every time
and i know
your next move
as you play checkers
with my chess pieces
and we dance
but in circles and circles and circles again
we wear boredom
though not very well
and you've no explanation for yourself
so why would i ask
as your reservations are not at my table
but you can continue to wet your palette
watching me dine alone.
