the earring on the floor

I can't get
away from you.
you're the gum
on my shoe.
the spinach
in my teeth.
you're the burrs
on my socks.
the bird
that won't talk.
you're
the song spinning
in my head.
the shoelace
with a knot.
you're the lid
that won't
close,
the cold in
my nose. you're
the one that
got away.
the one that
won't stay.
you're
the key stuck
on the keyboard,
you're someone
knocking
at the door.
you're
the earring
on the floor.
I can't get away
from you.
