can you get here?
       i want to see
   
                     your face

       if you’re game
       i can meet you

anyplace you want

       i think you’re

                          crazy

             ­ like me

the sheer force
of his memory
is bewitching

that even at
the mall with
an absent stare
i can see
his torso
inside the black
darth vader
boxer shorts

button fly;
machine wash;
imported.

i wish
this coffee
were a potion
to cure all the ills
in my head
i wish
its bitter caffeine
can infuse the
TRUTH
i sorely need
but reality tells me
that with each sip
a magic spell
is cast
only to bare the
LIES

making me
suffer
even more…
