Insider Joke

So…

If my inner voice

Is divorced from my body,

Then what variation of mouth

Releases the words?

Just sayin’,

In front of the mirror

I speak

Because you opened your mouth.

When I whistle,

You whistle too. 

When I’m silent,

(not often)

You’re quiet too.

When my mind’s-eye veers skyward,

Your eyelids open and peer downward,

Yet we make a single shadow.

Yours or mine?

And another thing..

I think you were there when I popped out

Screaming and dripping blood.

My mind was pretty dumb then.

Was yours?

Like…

If you were there in the beginning,

Will I have to put up with you

In the end?

So, okay…

In the darkness of my room,

When I shuffle the silent cards of our relationship,

It occurs to me:

You utter every word I send out,

But being the stranger you are,

It’s about time you paid your dues

 and spoke your own words…

Don’t you think?

C’mon body,

Loosen up.

So?

What, what?

There never was a punch line.

Thanks for commenting, though.

It’s about time.
