No Regrets

I didn't mean to ditch you



Please teach me to be happy
while making you happy



I am sorry

Static

my head is very quiet
but bounces all the time
off of desks and
others' heads

neither encourages serenity
which is optimal because
i never think to strangers
only about them

because, you see, the quiet
is not calm, but full
of thought strings and
heart ropes that tie

down rowdy, quiet-threatening
notions that my head
conceived, adopted
and learned to accommodate.
