We talk
And talk
And talk

But at the end of it all
One of use eventually has to hang up the phone

And then we sit there and wonder
When will be able to talk again?

And eventually we do
And we talk
And talk
And talk

And then we hang up the phone

I know you’re only 3 hours away
But it feels like there’s a whole universe of distance between us

I want to see you

I want to see you smile when I tell a cheesy joke
I want you to see me actively listening to what you’re saying
I want you to see me roll my eyes when you tease me
And I want to see you pretend to be offended when I call you a nerd

Because even though
We talk
And talk
And talk

Sometimes it’s just not enough

Clockwork

I’ve had people like me my whole life

One after another they’ve told me

And not long after that they ask me out

Some of them multiple times

And every time it happens I say no

It’s like clockwork

But then you come into my life

And shatter the clock against the wall

Because before you even asked

I was already saying yes
“yes” (this is so new for me)

April Fool's Day &
Friday the 13th in
the same month; get
it? The joke is on
u; no it's not; is this
a joke?

no,

wise men
fear knowing witches
have no power over
fools; but they do have
power over wise men

it was ten years & two kids ago that never
go away happened; maybe it was ten years;
the cat got wet & w/ the sharp nails
clawed her face; dreaming ever since
of her faced washed w/ blood like tears
& tears & wet; drunk & wet she had on
a men's suit on the roof & fell over the side
like Cicely after moving across town &
serpentine across the tar beach like Natalie;
her hot Tennessee daddy didn't move
until the snake crawled up the stairs &
came back black as a tree & she can't
die like her heroes; he's dead now so simple;
a tree & the dead beneath it growing up into it
& coming out in her stinky feet's sticky fruit

sometimes
when my reflection
isn't looking I sneak away
