BWASTMTAILF
there’s a term for when the movie trailer
is better than the actual movie
& there’s a term for when
the picture that you think of when we look at you
isn’t the picture we actually see
*
love has been the least rewarding endeavor
of my life. No, that’s not right. It’s
been the most rewarding. Let’s be honest
with ourselves, let’s not kid ourselves anymore –
the only thing that’s keeping us from each other
is everything we’ve learned about ourselves
& really, how little
is that?
*
riding in my car last night after getting
the alignment fixed, I leaned out the window
& a potato chip bag on the sidewalk said,
“I was never in love with the people
I had the most fun with.”
& that was ok
because who wants to be in love with a bag?
*
I got the courage
& then lost the courage
& now it’s all about being comfortable
with that
*
one day the profile will update itself
& the other me will have dinner
with the other you & they will have
the loveliest time. Weird. There’s footage of it.
We’ll watch all that when we have time –
& we’ll make time
because we’ve already seen the movie trailer
& it looks pretty sweet

Thank you for sharing. I needed that poem. Right now.
Hey Justin, i met you the other night at the Dionysus. just perusing your blog and saw this poem, enjoyed the observations, felt a little sad by them, and saw there was no comment and felt that in fact there ought to be. those words have resonance, casual as it may seem... anyway
Hey, shoot me an email.
