I make it look so easy.
Smoothing the edges of your bluntness
With practiced hands,
I stack the words neatly
turn them on end
and interleave
randomizing and
hiding (suspicion).
Concealing each in
the forgiveness
my sleight of hand
granted them,
(forgetfulness)
I choose Pretend.
It becomes so easy
for you
to shrug off
Responsibility.
