I’m not that smart
It’s raining in the light today
and soon the dark
will control my mind
but reading your poem
exclusively for me
made my heart swell
felt like a tiny pebble
in this great ocean
we drown or swim in
or float
ordering our morning coffee
smiling at the same waitress.
And there you go again
asking me the same
question years later
hoping for a different reply
but I’m not that smart
leave me cry
over my broken ripped out heart
insult me again
hate me
for I love that you’ll be so close
and in the spur of the moment
I’m there
don’t ask me to think about
it
because in seven minutes
I’ll regret my no
as your plane lands
perhaps mine already left.
I ordered my afternoon coffee
I’ll be discussing how education
has failed the young
a panel of experts
will point me out
as the woman whose life
changed in November
when a car crashed
and broken glass
stopped her
from replying
and living
her life.
I know nothing
I wish I was smarter
but you have
all the power.
