Dawdle

i say i will but i never do

promises made are all unkempt,

broken by a body that's walking

but not speaking

commitment is not the issue

it's my flesh

i see you and i want to be in the same dimension as you

to laugh without having to practice how to

the teeth must go like this, the tongue must curl like that

but i think no matter how well i do,

you still know

you still know i will never come

and so we make elaborate plans

how we'll walk and talk aimlessly

but when duties are over i never dawdle

dawdle, dawdle,

i am so impressed that it comes so easy to you
