that feeling of leftovers

you criticize my words--
the spot inside my brain
that holds them all.

here i am telling you
how it is.
and you're there
telling me how
it really
isn't at all.

i feel like dry paint
on this wall
i feel like the sweat
you wipe off your brow
when bad luck clutches your
veins like a rope
cut me now
cut me off
