I need a trainer, one who can explain
your lingo slowly. You see
I don’t know what Haven’t heard
from you in a while means
when I invited you
to see a movie two days before.

Something came up when you
were the one who asked me out?
What is That would be nice
when followed by quiet?
I strive genuinely to construct
understanding, but we will remain
in limbo with this confounding dialect.
