Perhaps

Who knows.
Perhaps it predates
My coming into this world.
Perhaps the cause is to be found
In some entanglements
In a previous life on
Planet Mist II.
Or perhaps it is that
I've always been too cheap
Too scared, too insecure
To even want to get into a relationship
(Ok, it so even happened for a brief time
Anyway and not of my making).
Dialogues I find in books
Never happened in my life
Or, possibly, rare and never
More than two lines
No, relationships are not, were not
Ever meant for me
Whatever the cause
Whatever the reason.
