perhaps

floorboards tell the story best

steps lost in space, a scratch

a dent, a spill. i was so many

times the one who spilt - it

was nice to be the one who

didn't. the one who was solid

who didn't get lost, or scratched

up the wood. i still made dents

but those made him laugh - it

wasn't his car after all. it was

nice to be the sane one. but

now i am not. and i'll be glad

to return to what i do best

stay lost, scratch, dent, spill

forget, perhaps i can find

a middle ground where the he

sometimes spills and i sometimes spill

and no one ever gets mad - we just laugh
