On my way to work
I suddenly fell in love
but I did not know
with whom, or why
And I must admit
it is much less stressful
to fall in love with
a non existing void
After all, for once
I know for certain
that they can never
love me back

Deus ex strepitus
deflecting with its finger
deviations that transform
whole lives
from mundane into tragic
no wonder that
some thing are just not right
poverty
a three legged dog
a drifter under a bridge
you and I

---

I often mistook
the gap between
the light beams of my car
and the shadows splashed
onto a bus stop
for a man who wasn't there.
Where is he now?
At a wedding,
walking the dog,
in front of the T.V.,
sitting there
feeling just like me
removed

---

in another place
at another time
I wrap
my index and my thumb
around your wrist
pondering
what would have happened
if we met by chance
