obligation [is it?]
is it too much to ask?
is this too much for you?
no, you say—
no, you say?
so you say, but
you mean yes.
do you call this commitment?
do you think me a comet,
(commit)
pretending
(do it)
to fall—
sink, slow
down, no,
i can’t take it,
i don’t want to take it,
help me, sorry;
don’t help me, i’m sorry
let me
fa
ll
(but promise to catch me)
