CONTRAST 1989

        and wait,
        for my pain to cease.

                       Is There Something Wrong?

        I'm always the last to know,
                 it seems

        There are little, unmistakable signs.
                 subtle things

        The favorite is silence, the icy stare.
                 marble eyes

        Another of my favs is yelling.
                 verbal abuse

        The simple things, blatantly obvious.
                 what purpose?

        A straight little talk is good.
                 isn't it?

        Just airing grievances.
                 simple, no?

        Makes things a lot easier.
                 fewer problems

        If there is something wrong,
                 say so

        Little guessing games
                 are a pain.
