And so I had
a guy come over
yesterday and my nerves
got the better of
me I did like
him but I don’t
think I’ll see him
again not because I
don’t want to but
because he doesn’t want
to I’m a lot
in person for most
and like an oak
shade most everything beneath
me causing few blooms
I think that he
knew that with me
he would never grow
Category: Affection
Maybe? (for Arturo)
I admit that I
have been drinking but
I
have
met a guy
I
put
him through paces
that
would have rattled
but
him no
he stood
up and now after
I’m
left to
wonder whether this
or anyone really is
was oh fuck really is
was
a mirage
YouThere
As I sit and
smoke my cigar watching
the sunrise I wonder
if this is genuinely
all that there is
me a cigar and
a sunrise and then
I remember that I
left you there upstairs
Promises
At this my long
in the tooth phase
I know that plans
and promises are as
unlikely to be kept
as an explorer spinning
a tale in order
to receive favor from
his king boasting of
a brave new world
Sometimes people do stay
true pointing to their
horizons but those are
likely only the adventurers
and the truly courageous
LittleThings
There is an infinite
amount of beauty in
our world but for
me it’s in little
things like a child’s
laugh a dog’s yawn
midnight snowfall but my
favorite is your smile
and your hand reaching
for me as I
am about to go
