HELLO WHATS NEW

there you are again
all natural firm
and fruity just like
the yogurt label
stapled to the wall
under the little photo
i took of you nude
when you were nineteen
and a little skinnier
now you have new glasses
and credit cards and
you like to argue
back with me a little
sometimes you want a house
sometimes you dont
sometimes you want a kid and
sometimes you snap closed
and leave me looking and
thinking    hello whats new
say aint you tired yet
of just me and you
hello whats new

aint you tired yet
or did i make this
same old situation
outta you
