why are my hands so immobilized
when it comes to chatting with you
why do my lips freeze over
to hell
when I try to talk with you
it’s only a simple ‘Hi’
how’s your day going
that I want to
share with you
and maybe
a conversation
if you have time
for one
I have a million
words I want to share with you
but they are stuck
in a traffic jam
paralyzed by fear
frozen to their roots
as you walk by
past me
and we exchange a smile
and then you go off
like a passing cloud
into the distance
and I just stand there
glued
glued to the sidewalk
on a sunny day
that feels more cold
than the freezer in December
