Fine, Fine, We’re All Fine, Thank You

Fine, Fine, We’re All Fine, Thank You

It isn’t there.
I didn’t see.
I don’t know.
Why ask me?

I didn’t feel it.
I didn’t touch.

 
I didn’t fake it.
No, not much.

I don’t remember.
What do you mean?
Do not disturb.
Don’t be seen.

Do not talk.
Play pretend.
Rigid smiles.
No more friends.

I didn’t hear it.
I didn’t say.
Evade the question.
No dismay.

Blank expression.
Vacant eyes.
Avoidance is
A ghast disguise.
ã8 January 1991, Daphne Yvonne Bradshaw.
