Round and Round

Round and round we go,

Barely scratching the surface of

What could be a deep relationship.

*

How are you?

-

I'm fine. You?

-

Fine.

-

What do you want to eat?

-

I don't know. What do you want?

-

Whatever.

*

Round and round we go.

Conversations empty at the core.

Meaningful details left out.

*

What are you doing?

-

Nothing much.

What do you want to do?

-
I don't know. What about you?

-

Maybe we can watch something.

-

Like what?

-

I don't care.

-

Whatever.

*

Will you fill in some blanks?

Will I? Must I?

Do we have it in ourselves to flesh out

Otherwise dull moments?

Or are we destined to go...
