Whatever He’s Absorbed With

Although you’ll never know

the whole shenanigan

of anybody else’s mind,

you find, sometimes,

that some of it appears

to want acknowledgment,

and if you feel inclined,

and, oh, today, you do,

with him you always do,

you’ll wait for it – even

if you don’t know what

you’ll do if he accedes.

Clearly now whatever

he’s absorbed with bleeds.
