Where You End & I Begin by Mark Danowsky

On this occasion it’s not true

look at me, I’m not you.

- New Order

Under the mask of decision fatigue

and because I have a hand-me-down 

gift card, I treat myself to gourmet coffee

at the end of the shopping trip

but almost pass on a blueberry scone

until I remember it’s you 

who does not like them
