PARALLEL LINES WILL NEVER INTERCEPT

It was silly to be hiding my face
within the confines of the spider-hole
I created from my arms.

I was only ever half in anything.
I was only ever half sure about you.

Foggily, I listened to her voice in the
distance.
She was screaming with pleasure
to my place among displacement
about the geometry of lines.

and I was only ever half listening
only ever half out the door, you know..

"paralell lines will never intercept", she said.
How could I have forgotten...
How did I not realize the paralillety
of our situation?
She spoke her first truth, that afternoon.

and I only still half believe her.
