Of course holding the door

I took a step out of team and

immediately wished

I could take a step back in

of course the timing synced.

I walked and heard you

wave to everyone

exchange talks with everyone

so crazy you're an everyone person

so crazy how I'm not

of course I always knew how it would go.

Holding the door

a little lift

it's awkward to let it close behind me

awkward to hold it for the awkward seven seconds

it took you to catch it

held it as I walked past

let it slowly close

you caught it with a

"thank you"

I responded with a 

"yeah"

yeah like it was my obligation

the king of everything and everyone 

I am no one

I did not say "sure"

"no problem"

don't know why

I wasn't surprised

of course all you say is thank you.

Thank you for what?

I guess I said "yeah" as a habit of defense

yeah like

you're not talking

about the elephant in the room

yeah like ohmygod I just want a normal year

yeah like can't everyone just get along and can't we make them

between me and you

you and me

you and I

a million ways you shake it I do not belong in your sentence

and yet I still am

of course it's still icy cold.

Why did I think over time it would warm up

like every normal tiff I've ever had?

Of course.
