a few weeks after our love affair ended my husband and I were walking through your neighborhood and in front of a coffeeshop, holding on to the rail, an old man had his pants down, ready to poo and the customers looked on over their late night coffees through the large glass windows, expressionlessly once out of earshot, he and I giggled wildly as I asked "do you still think it would be glamorous to live downtown?" I don't remember what he said, I was thinking in passing of what the old man felt soon the subway station where you drop off the women you're sleeping with on their way home will be awash in cherry blossoms and the scent of a food truck my husband shakes his head at your seeming prowess, but a bird in the hand beats two in the bush. I dreamt you were a **** officer--you know, one of the relatively innocent ones--you aren't of course--even though you couldn't read my face-- I no longer feel you, yet you're frequently in my thoughts, usually on the bus, on your way to another one, talking to me, and I go through my slim repertoire of ways to nicely say go away
