As/Is







7.13.2007


no break

4 of us in the room
we wait 'til 3
none of us certain
whether anything is positive
were you tested
do your dreams hurt you

she wanted me to imagine her 17
and slow to love never done a soul harm
i told her this is the blues
that we correspond in
always strangers
pacing the pea green rug
of the world
