Busy These Days

Soft and small and
hard like something that’s
been whittled away to
their inner rock

and gonna be all right
and gonna get taken care of
by the people I know I don’t
need, who can love me.

I coulda been something you didn’t need,
but I hope you have fun with the people
who complete you.
I hope I stop—

using the word stop. It’s got that aah
sound, on which it’s so easy
to take a long, ragged breath, and I—

don’t have time for the tears you’ve
got me crying now. I wish I didn’t have
time for the tears you’ve got me crying.
I wish I didn’t have so much time.
