verisimilitude

another message
without
a subject line

a flat assumption
that you are
owed my time

and a reminder
what’s mine is yours
but mine ain’t mine.

no matter
what i’ve said
or redefined

about changing our
relationship
for the thousandth time

you hear
your own voice only
saying ‘like this, is just fine.’
