"i saw you from that second story window"

It's been a while, but here is something new. I wrote it on a bus, on my way to buy weed. I was thinking about a conversation I had had with a girl the previous evening. We were talking about tense (really nerdy, I realize) and she kept using the word "tension" instead. It intrigued me. That's where it started, but then it gets weird, I have ideas, I think I know what it's about but nothing I want to elaborate on.

“t/t”

in regards to

tense and tension

we all need

a little help

never this quiet

we play out past lives

recount past lovers

plan future love affairs too

when you whisper

like a blanket

i am conformed

and comforted

when i whisper

like a blanket

you are comforted

and condemned

spend some time apart

we will think

future thoughts, rainbow metaphors

tensions giving in

if you return

i might be here

think of words

and how i will use them
