the difficulty

situation

he was in

but as he never

asked for help

none was given or offered

for who needs

extra hands in the mix

when everything is on fire?

especially when

it was him

did the lighting

i watched on careful

hoping against experience

he’d learn the lesson

consequences

were giving him for free

i’d ask him how things were

& he’d say

y’know how life is

fucking up your plans

i’d nod along

never suggesting

it was his shit his fan

for who needs an onlooker

making out

they know better on what

they’re going through
