We could negotiate words,

barter. Our little version

of scrabble. I'll give you essential

if you give me fat.

I'll give you feeling

if you give me…zit

not zat. I don't care about zat!

(Nor azo.)

Oh. And we can give each other hair.

That sounds fair.

Hey, we could build a whole lexicon

of verbiage that is verboten

'til

we have no more words

(left)

between us.

 

Though maybe we'll figure out a way

out of option C (not talking).

Neologisms, maybe.

Or patience.
