You stir your latte slowly
a habit of yours
that gives you time to express
your vacant feelings.
I wonder just when
all your mannerisms
became precisely packaged
like fashion statements?
Who switched the camera on?
When did you stop
being a lens?
When did you begin
to act out your life?
As you turn your spoon
as you gather together
your carefully prepared replies
my interest in you
flat-lines.
