I noticed that you got a new pair of shoes
I know because I knew you only had two pairs of shoes
And the ones you're wearing aren't those.
And I know you like root beer and seltzer and hot sauce
You listen to Muse and rap music and know all the words to Modern Major General
And like puns
I saw your dad once this summer, in a city neither of us live in.
I know what your chest feels like against mine
What you smell like
What your voice sounds like when you're sick.
It feels like I know more than I should
About a stranger
Who stares at me too much.
