found this stuffed in the pocket of a coat i hadn’t worn in ages. it was scribbled (almost illegibly) on a napkin from my favorite buffet-style chinese restaurant. i suppose i wrote it there.

if you listen with intent
you can hear the truth in lies
the pain in words that hide them.
if you watch with focused mind
you can see the worth in actions
see the secrets words can cover.
we soon forget and air escapes
it returns when we remember

then leaves again at the same thoughts.

so meander on exactly as we will
tomorrow brings another chance
again.
