half

infatuated with the tiniest things again;
"come get me"
pouring a little boy named Jack a half glass of milk,
because what is a cookie without it?
drinking a few drops of rain with a cup of coffee
half jaded
clothes half dry
half terrified and a little surprised.
buy one get one 50% off
barely cold and barely warm
almost is a cigar half smoked
but basically no one finishes a whole one.
midway through this pursuit
with no end in sight, but it's alright,
my hand on top of your hand on top of
my hand is just a synecdoche
like a smile, like off-white teeth.
