Someone Said You Understood

Someone said
you understood.
I wonder, in that case,
if I should blunder in
with the assumption
that you’ll grasp
the cower

in my eyes.
If you understand,
it can’t be a surprise.
I’d like to stand
here staring,
pouring out the whole
incontinent inchoate

continent of me,
while you,
as someone said
you do, foresee
the likely outcome.
I might be overcome
with tears.

I wonder at
the amplitude
of fears.
But someone said
you understood.
My, that would
be good.
