Have I thought this for a long time? I don't know.

Can you see a twist in the line and let it go?

If you've known this for a long time you don't say.

It seems fast, if only because you looked away.

What makes you pull your hand

from mine and set it firm on the wheel:

is that so I can't convince you?

Who told you that you couldn't have

both at the same time?

Up close, I can't fault you for your reason.

If you want I will hear,

with no insinuation.
