"Detached" she said...
The word spins audibly
[Detached]
uncoupled, like a train
or a widow
[Webster's got nothing on me]
no revelation
though it hangs there
suspended in silence
like oil on water
rasping
a burr on my skin
an unexpected cat kiss
strange words
in familiar voices
perhaps my own
perhaps they all are
everything sounds more ridiculous
when it's said out loud.
"Detached" I repeated
and laugh
I'm whitewashing, I know
the jester's sidestep
distracting with my motley bells
"yes..." she agrees
with herself, more than me.
"and you're doing it right now"
Where does it take you?

like a train or a widow, i liked the comparison
rasping
a burr on my skin
an unexpected cat kiss
i mean the burrs uncomfortable, but the cat kiss i thought was positive

"and you're doing it right now"
interesting...not like you didnt know you were detached-(no revelation)but it took you a bit aback
that 'she' noticed and said it directly
