disconnected afternoon sun

lying on the grass
my toes are in the sun
your words buzz in my ears
and i think of everything
removed from itself

i remove myself from my skin
i think of the future without
all of the shackles
the chains i cherish
it seems lighter

i rush out to catch a leaf
as you twitter in my ear constantly
(and i see your slight annoyance
but it is the sun i am enjoying
more than your company)

friendships are hard
they are malleable
and fickle
and so often one-sided

when i look up at you
i try to impart meaning in my eyes
but you just curve your back
(dark curls cascading on white skin)
look past me
and laugh
