if you are...I am

of slight stature

your shoulders are beautiful in the sunlight

you couldn’t not know that

your eyes are dull as gold is dull

and green reflected by the grass

 

if you are tired as I am tired

of vampires and che guevara and parkour and girls

in going out skirts, of movies you forget the plot of

and new architecture, of streets with sidewalks on

only one side

if you are tired as I am tired
