Not Today, Old Friend

One hundred indelicate reassurances
Coalesce into a single vexing nicety
That breaks like a wave of ammonia
Against the arch of my contorting brow
A warm gesture if nothing else
How kind

That kindness, no matter how grating
That concern, no matter how fleeting
That love, no matter how bloodless
Has been noted
And isn't that what matters?

That you've been thanked?
Whether or not I even remember your name?
That you've been thanked?
Whether or not I even remember your name?

That you've been thanked?
Whether or not I even remember your name?
That you've been thanked?
Whether or not I even remember your name?
