Listening

Did you really think
I was here
Listening to you
Maybe you saw my body
It means nothing
I was out of town
Visiting all the places
I would rather be
In my head
Focusing so hard
On the television
That the room disappeared
And the characters
Became my friends
When you began to speak up
My internal mute turned on
Selectively
Only for you
And when you were screaming
Point blank into my ear
I slapped your face
For interrupting my nothing
I hope you got the hint
