If I Were a Poet

Everyone is

   at the halfway point
 mom sorry I was really tired
    I thought you had eight cousins
     the way the top of that tree moves
         their web site looks
  I wouldn’t mind seeing it again
(indistinguishable Italian)
      really encouraging
     can I hear the latest
   that guy at the Thai restaurant
     didn’t go to a basketball game
       the advice I gave to
         bad if I said yes and then
(indistinguishable… Hindi?)
       if that works for you
         the orchestral version
   now you know when she complains
        they didn’t ask which one of us
    you know tricks of the trade
      it’s different than music but I thought I was
                 
  looking for connection.
