i sat w tom at the themed bar / & i thought to ask but i didn’t want to seem too forward, so i shut up / & now you cry when the boss comes on the radio / but that’s ok, tommy waves
louis called me the other day / i wasn’t ignoring him but i knew what was coming, now i can’t turn away / & now he’s living sick & alone in the city / like a spot in history
“here, between answer & nothing, i stand” / i read your book of poems & try to find my own power / “is it true the earth is all there is, and the earth does not last?” / yeah its true
