Burgling electronic isolation with words to make me run
because I am human
and fear what I don't understand
I'll wait for you
he says
By the way, how's your face feel?
Tongue tip tripping, he's laughing at me.
He makes me laugh at myself
tub edge sitting
dying my hair for a bald man
hours away in a city I can't stand

My face?
it's going to stick like this

small alternating smiles hiding behind confused fingers
I say
This will take years
Unkissed smile shine in my general direction
women who fear commitment cause evolution
Y chromosomes now contain x ray vision
The man's a flight tracker.

"You brought me up from a very dark place

I'm not sure you quite understand how much that means

Or the significance it gives you in my life

it takes someone that i have a great connection with to do what you did"

Do I dare disturb the universe, Mr. P?

Do feelings like those require a spectacular focus?
Does left field eloquence deserve any less?

I'm waiting for you
he says
I'm waiting for you
he says
I'm waiting for you
I say
You're crazy.
