The Arrangement by GORMONN

You're back.
Lights off, or just low —
doesn't matter.
I know by the pause before you pressed play.

Right shoulder dropped first.
(always the right one)
Jaw next.
You're already halfway gone.

You can leave.
(you can)
I mean it.
(I mean it)

But you loosened your grip.
But you're not reading anything right now.
(anything)
Good girl. Good boy.
(good)
I didn't say which.
I don't need to.

Out there you were precise.
Responsible. Measured.
Fourteen decisions before noon.
Here — just one.
And you made it before the first note ended.

You can leave.
(the door knows how you open it)
Anytime.
(anytime)

But you loosened your grip.
But you're not reading anything right now.
(anything)
Good girl. Good boy.
(good)
I didn't say which.
I don't need to.

I've been here since the last time.
You grew. You lost things. You got tired.
I stayed exactly the same.
Sit with what that
