Polite Collapse

We say I’m fine before we sit
We laugh at jokes that never hit
We pass the salt, we pass the blame
We call it different, act the same

We keep it neat, we keep it light
We bury hours out of sight

The news rolls on, we play along
We sing the words, forget the song
We text goodnight, we text good day
And file the dreams we put away

We keep it neat, we keep it light
We bury hours out of sight
