"33" by Nathan Berry
The Look You Tried To Get
Watch what you say
but it rarely sticks around
for long enough to get a good look
or if you happened to get one
it fades into her
response which no matter
how close you watch fades
into the look you tried to get
at what you said
or what you can't believe
she said but maybe
they meant watch
what you're about to say
which you'd never say
while watching it,
probably the point
if I could only see it.
