it’s three o’clock
[from a second wave – poetry]
once more i find myself alone
it’s not as if you could come with me
everywhere
that’s silly
but
it’s a thought
i take you with me
always
for now
you are the object of my desire
i guess that’s good and bad
if i’m obsessed then it’s bad
if i’m just romantic it’s good
if i’m unrealistic, of course i am
you are amazing
we
could be
and there is the rub
the pause
the caution sign
i know, i hear you, i understand
but i don’t have to like it
and of course there are things
that don’t quite fit
that aren’t quite right in my dream
of next generation us
because i have scars
i am willing
and waiting
if today
you said
i want to be with you
i know that i would smile
if today you said
i love you
i would feel a moment of
wtf
holy shit
wait, what?
but you don’t
and i don’t
so we go along
as you have asked
side by side
sort of
and then
isolated
as well
