awkward exercises

 the machine was broken I just asked if they knew when it would be fixed
human grains of sugar
effort noble sweet dedication
invitation validation roads through wild lands

can we get it fixed today
well I was just trying to make conversation
too shy to really open it all up
The place too full of people

The cord that pulled the weights on the machine was broken
the conversation was also interrupted
Noone said anything and embarrasment lived
across faces in hearts and awkward steps

One said we could reattach the cord to the weight
Thus fixing the problem
what have eyes decided we are
without asking

what have emotions influenced us to assume
without even checking
what kind of person struggles to speak
what ruse do you need
