today, she said we should date
because the line between our eyes
normal to none
behind frail collarbones and
thick-skinned mantis
blurs so beautifully, alabaster eyes
your blaze fits so serenely among the fog.
i sat down inside myself and
pretended to know you for two days straight
but came out alone, at last
just me and nobody
smiling at each other
normal to none
to nothing, i mean
feeling so undamped
uniform, cuniform, under-done
sometimes i mean to say, "you're
my favorite"
but i don't because i never say what i mean.

by cuniform do you mean cuneiform?
p.s. the first two lines reminded me of the first couple lines of "such great heights" by the postal service

"i sat down inside myself and
pretended to know you for two days straight
but came out alone"

this is actually vaguely inspired by a song by the gaslight anthem. it's track 5, can't remember what it's called.
