Knowing the protagonist

By: Shelbi Henny

Protagonist 
speculating the fascination of possibilities 
that don't exist 
spacing out the explanation of temporary fixtures
placing myself in conspiracies that
attack at dawn
and leave me sleepless
when rushed into critical conditions
I realize that you ain't shit
and I was playing piano to silence
you tested the waters
well I never did
with tasting my surprise in amber
that later we began to see it all
puzzled with chalk writings
on the floor and walls 
I am here 
you are air
that's when it began to make sense
that tingles at the back of your spine
and squirts between mire thighs
that were never mine
and I antagonize
the situation
when you played blind
