they tell me

they tell me about you
i see you in the background 
are you happy?
is it enough? 

there’s nothing like
hearing your voice 
and seeing your heart open
is it still open?
do you love?

from single digits to a perfect ten 
how has the day been?
is it coming together 
is it still tough?

do you feel all the lack?
or are you just making up the slack?
is it easy, my dear 
to pick right back up?

what happens
after all that came to exist?
does it swish when you shoot?
do you never miss?
