this morning I woke up to you sleeping softly.
you opened your eyes and looked into mine,
held my hands and told me you were late for
work
don't feel sorry for me.
I am a competent,
satisfied human being.

be sorry for the others
who
fidget
complain

who
constantly
rearrange their
lives
like
furniture.

juggling mates
and
attitudes

their
confusion is
constant

and it will
touch
whoever they
deal with.

beware of them:
one of their
key words is
"love."

and beware those who
only take
instructions from their
God

for they have
failed completely to live their own
lives.

don't feel sorry for me
because I am alone

for even
at the most terrible
moments
humor
is my
companion.

I am a dog walking
backwards

I am a broken
banjo

I am a telephone wire
strung up in
Toledo, Ohio

I am a man
eating a meal
this night
in the month of
September.

put your sympathy
aside.
they say
water held up
Christ:
to come
through
you better be
nearly as
lucky.

There are mountains between us
But I'm ready to climb

eliza t
?
i sorta-kinda
might-possibly
maybe-am
just-almost
hands-down
totally
in love

with *you

There are days where I think I can find someone new.
Then there are days when I talk to you.
