i am too many years old
still
i would go ‘round your world’
but I am married
and she the Queenwould rather stay here
down at this nearby Pub
a girl and boy come nearthey talk to her
as I return
and get ever closer
to being introduced
Oh Favor!
It’s Exclamationalways has effect
she stood confident
on a table the size of a dimeand undid every single
beautiful
thing
thought imagined
before a table of pathetic gray
piling on their endless pay
thinking of all that could be
from the girl sitting,waiting gracefully
at the bar
all those years i too was too old
was also when I was too young
so far back as Scare Crows
and Tin Mengo
so far back
as I can go
But then too
was i as far back
as We can go?
to Zero ...
Where
i liked the way it soundedeven when I did not say it
i liked the way it felt
even when I did not feel it
i wanted what I felt
touching what I wanted
caressed it softly
like it was what it waseven when it
did not feel what I felt
