It's not the language they speak,
It's that they speak my language,
And they can pass grammar tests,
Better than me.
So, c'est la vie,
To everything...

Is that seriously your position?
Egyptians watch people from the sea.
Until the waves are overwhelming,
Like you, they will be, at best, relief.

It's not an answer to everything,
It's that you walk down the street,
Then talk to people.

Instead of becoming antisocial,
Cherry picking animal bones,
And little use for any more.

It's not semantic, or colloquial.

Volleyball, dodging zombies,
Down the street, serving coffee,
Like stars revolved around me.

Also like stars:
She doesn't need a third body,
Complicating things,
She doesn't need another colleague,
She just wants me gone,
And wants my money,
Like stars revolved around me,
And I owe them everything.

Karate Chops, melancholy thoughts,
As she drops off a cappuccino cup.
Are you done... ?

No, I wish you would love me, 
And not be harmed.
And not across from me,
Always held away,
Like stars revolve.
