old news part two (the anticlimax or so this is where we meet)

i've been sitting for hours
it's a game we play
like tag
look and look away

she's got skinny shoulders
and a tight jawline
her face
more statuesque than mine

i can see why people would say it isn't fair
to me
it's all just running,

so i sit.
you laugh
we smile.

somewhere
there is a bell sounding regret.
i never much listened anyhow.
