The Argument

The Argument

“Hello,
    What’s up?”

Blood hot,
    Pulse fast.

“You know,”
    “I don’t!”

“You do!”
    “I don’t!”

“Tell me.”
    “You know!”

“Calm down!”
     “I’m calm!”

“You’re not.”
    “I am.”

“You must
    Breathe slow.”

“I am!”
   “You’re not.”

“What’s up?”
    “You know.”

“I don’t.”
    “You do.”

“Tell me.”
    “Not now!”

“When then?”
    “Later!”

“Why’s that?”
    “You know!”

“I don’t!”
  “You do!”

“I’m off!”
    “Goodbye!”
