Hello

She had me at Hello

She said hello with her mouth
but her neck — it was long and thin
and delicate like the stem of a bloom
her mouth said words
but her neck did the talkin

and oh her mind when it lit up
nothing in the world mattered but
all the rambles she just had to share
or she’d have exploded like
one of those…
