there is something you should know

poem

the idea that you are alone

with these words

makes me smile.

truth is

you’re never alone.

these words

shape meanings

only you understand.

a fraudulent vote

another gin and tonic

on a Monday afternoon.

these words are the last time

you promised

not to procrastinate

away an evening.  

they are a scar on your arm

that reminds you

of childhood adventure.

these words, like you
