can we talk

no period?
no urgency
all lowercase
casual
like you and me

if this is about switching shifts,
just say that
if it’s about the other night
i promise i’ll pay you back
we aren’t an us
so this isn’t that kind of talk

unless

you want something else,
something more, not less
i’m not sure want that
but
i could be convinced

i like to read
but never between the lines
seriously.
who sends a text like that?

but worse,
how do i answer it?
