I know in this moment
I should have something to say,
something clever
or obvious
or descriptive
or sensitive...
something pointless
or honest
or fun.
"What do you like to do for fun?" he asks.
And I really don't know.
He makes fun of the way
Americans say "really?"
As if we somehow disbelieve
what we've just been told.
Sometimes I think being with him is fun.
"Really?" he wonders.
And I know this whole time
I've actually been lying,
I'm just not quite sure to whom.
