"i will create a new category

on my instant messenger buddy list

i will call it
‘people i like who don’t like me back‘

and i will move your screen name into that group
and i will invite you to my house and show you

and you will say, ‘if i didn’t like you why did i come over’
and you will look at my face
and i will have an honest answer for your question
i will tell you that you came over to be polite

and after a while you will go home
and you won’t call

and i won’t either"
