No History Here To Be Made

by Olivia Weinkein

"i'm tired of always watching you commit
suicide," he said

but i didn't really get what he meant nor
did i care to

i just sat there listening to music play
and drinking again and thinking about
how strange and awkward it feels
every time

it rains in december

"i just don't understand why you do
the things you do," he said

but i just turned my head rolled my
eyes, pretended there was something
more interesting going on
outside the window

"do you ever get the feeling that we're
being watched or maybe, that we're not
being watched at all," I said

he didn't answer, he never does but i
don't expect him to and that's good
because some questions don't
deserve answers, some statements
should never be said, some stories
should never be written

some poems should never be read

"I'm just so tired of always watching you
commit suicide," he said yet again

......hmmm......



"well then,

don't watch."
