you're never there @ 2004-02-15

a car pulled up
coughing up sparks
and broken music notes
legs all tied up from walking too long
best friends discovering
there has to be something
more.

dashing in playgrounds
and settling down
a hand on a knee
and i spent so much time
reassuring doubts
that i thought
i'd fallen short
of buttressing our hands
fitting perfectly

his frostbite hugs
my hands colder than
my heart.

it's confusion
without knowing what to do.
