The curves on this cobalt two-seater are so **** beguiling. Fuck! The arcs and contours swerve through my tangled imagination. Heh...I am a hopeless romantic parked in a speedster, dreaming of driving. I laugh at myself because...how like me to pick a car that reminds me of you. I mean, we have yet to experience the pleasure of meeting each other, but I have seen you before-- My God, I have seen you before-- My trembling hand at the small of your back... The hypnotic aria of our intimate silence… The way your laughter heals my pain... I am alone, but I am driven to find you, to meet you, to break free of my familiar Nostalgia made me bitter, turned my love into a fleeting spirit that burns the palette Space. She needed, “Space…” When did my embrace become a cage? Space. She needed, “Space…” When did bawling in pain become my normal? I am alone, but I am driven to find you, to meet you, to break free of this familiar I thought love was a destination that could not be reached. An elusive location that I longed for, but was too afraid to take the driver’s seat. I was a hopeless passenger, happy to be along for someone else’s ride I have steadied my breath, wiped my eyes in order to see you clearly. Whoever you are, wherever you are, please know that I am driven to find you. Soon, we’ll hop into this two-seater and neither of us will be alone.

Inspired by a poem of one of my former students.
