March 16, 2010

I left my mind
in a silent home
plugged into a USB port

So when you say,
"I never thought I'd be loved
by anyone as pretty as you"

I think I need to move that meeting to Friday
and Maybe I'll have time to buy groceries over lunch hour
But where would I store the dairy products until 5?

I can imagine your eyes
shining with the possibility
of summer
and I never thought
I'd be loved
by anyone so patient.

  1. here's my five minutes today as i was sitting in the carpool lane and thought of your proposal:

    there are lines on the tree across the street
    they swagger up and down
    forming an angry silence
    i wonder if it frightens the squirrels
    or the children
    perhaps a wrinkle or two
    maybe confusion
    as the sinners go in and out
    of the parish front doors
    i wonder
    if that frightens the children too
