A Conversation Translated Into a Note

It would be helpful
if you were to leave
because things can get
quite claustrophobic
for me.
My lies are deep,
cavernous,
and your presence
impedes my ability
to out-run
them all.
An upper story,
four-bedrooms
is not enough.
I could use another
floor,
and you do
block my way to the attic -
a wondrous place to slink to
and hide in
Dashiell Hammett shadows.
Ah, to wrap myself in forgetfulness
and smoke a bowl of
nothing-can-touch-me.
You must understand...
