a different form

lucky for the time so many didnt have
more than enough time
full and fullfilled

it took you little by little
it took you gently
easily

but still with us
a different form

remembering

chasing me around the big tree
that sits heavily at the side of your house

your old baseball hats left
in the backseat of the old green car

telling me "your just as smart as the
rest of them" the night before i went to college

i have you

i have you

but i dont know you

i have you

but you are a stranger

i have you

but i didnt ask for you

i have you

but how can you be the right one

red light district

barbie dolls
in plastic
casing

on display

degraded by
a tourist eye

makeup painted
hair long
tan artifical
costume on

desperate
trapped
behind
a glass door

fireworks in my closet

you put
fireworks in my closet

and
confusion in my
heart

i do not play games

is it my turn to move?
