"LOVE POEM TO A GIRL FROM POMONA"


15 years ago I met a girl
from Pomona.
I was a man, she was a kid,
and the colors from those
intersection lights were
green, yellow and red.
my music from my ride played 
loud and she tucked herself 
in at night.
23 to 16, I placed all bets.
there were a few others 
before her but none stuck 
around.
I sit here, smoking and 
drinking, listening to Gould.
the girl from Pomona won that 
year and life hadn’t gotten 
to her.
looking back, it was the 
very thing that made me love 
her, it was the very thing 
that separated us, it is the 
very thing that has reunited 
us.
I gave the girl from Pomona
my greatest accomplishment:
my ability to choose to love.
I took a bow and stepped back 
behind the curtain. 
the girl from Pomona is all 
grown up.
the girl from Pomona, with 
two kids after a split from 
the very thing that caused 
our split, stands to enter 
the world again.

here I sit, that young man 
who risked his freedom to 
love you.
you took some of my best love
and tears from me all those 
years ago.
you returned them 8 months 
ago.
35 to 28, I place my bets 
again.
the lights at every 
intersection are still there 
but they no longer carry 
their meaning.

we can GO after our love.
we can SLOW DOWN the 
apprehension.
we can STOP our pain.

to the girl from Pomona,
we’ve gotten another green 
light.
let’s take off, let’s hit the gas.
I promise, I’ll put more than 
5 bucks in.
