CONCESSIONS

Body, I know you 
don't see me for 
who I am half 
the time—and we 
grew up together, so 
we argue about everything. 
But there's so long to go 
from the middle 
to the end, and you
keep turning up, 
and that's all 
that I've got. So 
I'll take you as far 
as you're able to go
if you laugh 
and my jokes, and I'll 
listen to you sing.
It's not a lot, but it's 
something—like feeling 
lonely when you're 
really not.
