Downy

Oh let’s do the first kiss
all over again.
Tomorrow I will go
to the theater to see
someone else believe in
themselves for a while.
I can hear your heart
palpitate too on this
strange recording.
It’s the strange way
these things roll around.
In this city,
you will come to understand,
that we like to eat,
but just as surely
we like to dream.
We make it up as we go,
even when the script
has been written forever.
I said the L word…
Oh, fuck, I said the L word…
This pillow is too big tonight –
too big to hold just my dreams,
so I will try to dream for the both of us.
