She said 
           every sentence is an accusation
and I thought
           she speaks well
that child has always known what to say about the world
she has a beautiful face a clear head and cosmic notions
          My god, I said
          you’re right   that’s the way it is
the world speaks to you nowadays
                                     in accusations
it doesn’t leave you alone for a minute
it thinks everything is your fault   the world is like that
No she said
           I wasn’t talking about the world
           I was talking about you
Yes I said   that’s it   that’s just what I meant
