three little words

(c) 2011-2012 'Safira B'

      there's something
     [trapped]
     bet-                                           -ween
            the net of my vocal chords
            like ~fish in the sea. i
p-u--l---l them kcab, that tide

    of feeling and force a different
       iambic triameter past poetry-
                                  kissed lips -

                    "how are you?"
