Pity-Poetry

here's to not looking at you

arms around your neck
never thought 
anything 
went both ways
waist 
and arms
and back

never stopping
walking past the two
blinking red lights
halfway between 
your bedroom and

mine

abdicated
apart from the humor,
the shy-
we are not you

you probably do not
under-
stand
that

towering but meseley 
months 
above youthful sarcasm- 
oh my curious 
heart

the cat was held
tied in a bag
-I let it roam free-
what little space 
left off the map

the cat didn't come
home
one night
swallowed into
purple-veined
thoughts 

I think what makes us
alone 
is the compilation of time 
spent knowing
there is never 
good 
to expect
