you gave me this
i've got this stretchy,
sandy colored rubber band
reminder wrapping
my wrist and when
I'm wringing my hands,
trying to sleep and see
silence as my escape --
i'm thinking of you.
because in my mind you
will always be the
ultimate prize, the
winning ticket, playing
perfectly into my poetry,
as the non-us I play up is
nonplussed, nay i say,
impossibility.
