if I seem desperate, it's because i am.
i don't care about dignity.
i care about you.
how many nights in a row can I drink white russian daiquiris
and smack ink onto a blank sheet before I realize
that I haven't pressed the "J" key even once
in hopes that my brain won't jumble the letters
and create word searches with only your name in the word bank.
i'm not dyslexic but I do love puzzles.
crosswords, jigsaws, multi-colored cubes,
cryptograms, mazes, tetris, Sudoku...
the only one I can't seem to solve is you.
****
Once again, I'm stuck.

Once again, I'm stuck.
found some old pieces of writing that i decided to finally work on and post. eh.
