I know you don’t love me
and I am no more than a convenience
that is sometimes useful and sometimes not.
So we live in this surface of being something
that is not and being the picture of love
that sits on the wall with no
dimension beneath to give it depth.
But I am prepared to play my part
in this work without substance
and this play that will go
on and on towards it uninspiring end.
