I sat on the end of my bed
with my legs
shoved between the footboard
and the mattress
and i stared at my hands as
you came in
and asked me what was wrong
you asked me what was wrong

Have you ever wondered why
you are your name
or why you are here and
not somewhere else
or why here is where it is
and the whole time you
feel like you're spinning and falling?

I stopped and looked at him.

He looked at me
and he sort of laughed
as he said,

"No."
