the clairvoyant
told me things
i kind of knew
but i did not cry

i try my best
but i am short –
curt and to the point
and i apologise
but, oh, if you could know this pain

i remember sharing
and the pain of that sound
i take the blows
because i have a memory
and that never goes

the world,
where everything, ‘fits’
but in reality, it is all enhancement,
tucks and lifts
