beat the odds
found love
REAL
love.it has taken 20 years to strip me of that illusion
20 years
one particle
one quark
one neutrino at a time
until all i have left is the realization
that I have spent my life as
a cliché
i had never wanted to be this small.
on the radio a woman/my sister decried
i am a hundred years older today than i was yesterday
reminding me that there are millions of ways
to be stoned to death
and i am lucky not to be her.
