I had a dream you wrote poetry to me And it wasn't in poems, but it was poetry- And you didn't write for me, But you did write at me, In that selfish way, The way I talk at you. But it was beautiful and real And I saw you For a moment Not the real you; of course not. But a creation of an idea of you that wasn't you. Inside my head. And you and I and all of Us Are so alike And I hope you keep talking at me Like I do to you We're all so selfishly human-- Keep talking at me, And maybe one day we'll both be Something more-- But for now, the mundane. Let it live in your name And we'll all be the same Tell me: What Wild was not once Trapped?

talk at you
