"’I am’ is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that ‘I do’ is the longest sentence?”
– George Carlin
When you vowed never,
you tempted fate
like how my toes curl
around your wrists.
You say no, not now,
then turn click click click
like a stubborn pill cap.
You feign sleep,
and I creep downstairs
to the medicine cabinet.
