here's when you change your shirt, and tuck it in.
this is when you sleep in your red pants
because tomorrow's blue sky will be brighter behind them.
this is where red is still your favorite color.
this is you, writing anything because you like the space between each word.
here's when your bagel comes without a hole, its too much
its just too much.
here's you, looking at that dog, wondering what you'll be like as a grandma. what you'll wear, and if you'll have any love left to give.
here's your green book. its perfect.
this is when you've highlighted the main points,
and need to go back and outline. fuck an outline.

this is where you are done and beginning a story that will be sad.
this is where you are when you push through the second cup's welcoming of lines.
this is you, past your usual stay.
here's where you are when you have nowhere else and you just won't get up yet.
here's you, hanging out on a line, waiting for yourself to dry.
this is where you are done and beginning a story that will be sad.
here's where you come because everywhere else has stopped and you will keep going.
this is you, when you've felt it all and there's not enough to feel like its over.
here you are, this is you.
this is you a million times over.
this is not you anymore. here you are waiting to dry,
and you're a million times over waiting for you.
this is where you're a million times over not you.
here's you. this is you yesterday and today
and a million times over forever and tomorrow.

everywhere people are important
people are normal everywhere
(dont you forget this)
no matter where you go
people are normal
everywhere people are important
you should not forget this
at one time that time
at one time i was trying to write poetry.
what happened that time?
that time you came over and asked for the time?
sorry, no watch, but ask her over there with the cellphone
then i counted my own seconds when you went in the bathroom
45 ticks-- really? is that all you need?
do you look in the mirror?
do you check your teeth?
do you know you appear to everyone to be exactly as you are?
if i want to learn something from my dog
if i want to learn something from my dog
i could
be nice, or kind, or at least open to everyone i meet
i could
have smooth, soft hair that people cant help but stroke
i could
know my own opinion and speak it, hushing myself
when those i love tell me its been too much
i could
lay in the sunlight and appreciate the beauty of nature
i could
cuddle for warmth
i could
lick my wounds, and sweets, and salt from the skin of those who hold me close
i could eat one bite at a time. sitting down. chewing carefully.
wherever i find myself, i could settle for nothing less than a comfortable seat.
