Moot

I wonder how it feels
as the chalk is erased away
to know that what you mean
is exactly what you say

the words hang thick like cobwebs
heavy in a dusty room
serving as a shelter
protecting like a womb

there's an shadow on the floor
a taped outline of the truth
and what you heard was me
although the point was moot
