we all crack sooner
just beneath drama
just beneath drama
lie layers of understanding
and misunderstanding.
their syllables rub

create new sounds,
conjure meanings

quickly, every

selves vying
for the same

in every transaction, there
in every transaction, there
is a Frank and Claire –

are rehearsing their

she’s overly
dramatic, she
thinks he should
go to hell, and
the majority of
the action
creaks stage left
