Pretending To Be


Remembering when we met each pretending to be alone
Bending bars like ESP speaking into a darkened telephone
Mentioning our lives with just a hint of charming fatality

Promises like presents lay concealed under ceremonial spaces
Between sighs, tracing the latent contours of our faces
Into hardening cement masquerading as ancestral stone

Still I could have wept lost in the moment in the measures of that tone

Mentioning our lives with just a hint of charming fatality
Bending bars like ESP speaking into a darkened telephone
Remembering when we met, each pretending to be alone . . .
