The Third Person


Reasoning was out of the question
that's what I said

that's what I said
when I was talking to you
and when I was answering you

Conversations that started on a bench seemed to be overrated
at least that was my take from the cheap seats

perhaps because you started it
and perhaps because you finished it

No one asked you--
oh yes they did--you did

The only thing I know is this--

I didn't like you
from the minute I laid eyes on you--

  1. love this. I don't know if there is really any one clear interpretation of the piece, but it flows very dynamically – like a real conversation. The only thing that threw my rhythm off was "conversations that started...cheap seats". Very interesting though.
