you did

did you know that
all of the city's
chestnut trees
die

did you hear that
calming noise
rushing inside
the shell

did you or did you not
open
the broken
backdoor

did you swallow that
rotten piece
of green
apple

did you drink that
sweet smelling
deadly-poisonous
juice

did you ask me
where I would go
if you left
today

did you hear
what I said
when you did not
ask

did you feel
that I would stay
with you
anyway
