Circuit Interrupted

You say, we need to think of some things

That went forgotten, during our days together.

You say, we need to pay more attention

To the greater world, ignored for so long.

You say, it might be better

Not to have this exclusive relationship

Here between us, since it blinds us

To the importance of everything else going on.

My brain hears all your words

And is busy placing them in compartments;

But my body hears only with it's heart-

And now these hands are shaking.
