I know, I know. . . don't say anything at all

People like you don't apologize

you actively choose to look distracted
to avoid the questioning eyes
that know you're wrong
and still wait patiently
like children

People like you change the subject

to stay entertained
Have diplomatic gestures
and dirty hands

People like you Are so busy lately
and waste everyone's time with their problems smaller than the listeners

People like you have contingency plans for intimacy
keep people that perform favours on speed dial
are productive and ambivalent like engines

People like you consider themselves the standard
that their opinions are the measurement tape requirements
when no one is even growing in their direction

People like you can run down a city
with the baggage they drag through homes and hands

You know who you are

I think the changes to the look are an improvement. :-)
