snapshots 3

this is me, losing my game.
this is you, cradling the trophy.

this is me, hoping we're in the same boat.
this is me, abusing our tragedies.
this is me, choking on old sea.

this is me, trying to appear mysterious.
this is me, a little distorted through the crystal ball.
this is you, impressing a gypsy.

this is me, trying to conjure words I forget
(and still forgetting).
this is me, relying on memory.

this is me, holding on to recent photos.
this is me, afraid of what you might be thinking.

this is me, dialing emergency.
this is you, after the beep.
