Angular sparrow, luxurious, towering swan,
beautiful sidekick. This might be
a Forget-About-Him Poem.
I want to take You into my arms.
Come to where we and the others live:
You and I and everyone else I know, we can live
in the familiar world of half-having,
dreaming of more, but never truly wanting it.
Come back to the Apartment Life You led
as a girl. We would do things like
let You Make Meals for us.
We would let You do Normal Things,
like Take out the Trash and Watch the Kids
and Wipe the Table and Do the Dishes.
We wouldn't make You wear Makeup.
We wouldn't make You wear Heels.
You could be one of us.
We would never ask You to try to seem
or look other than what You are.
I'll tell You, it will be like a dream:
and the Rich will be envious of the Poor;
we don't have; we are.
It is a simple paradise,
and no one gets *******
