Didn'T Understand
Under the bright city light, I didn’t understand,
Your transient-playful energy, I could understand
Caught—Logic? Love? “Live for now” you told me,
memories blurred of that cold moon, I couldn’t understand
Dark whiskey and beer, warm pub seats—Big Buck Hunter,
playful words—no escaping cupid’s lyre, I would understand
Greenwich took us in—as travelers, together, for a short month
Georgia girl, savannah smile—so sprite, that, I could understand.
Staten Island bound on the ferry, and your lips
Unavoidable wreckage—hurricane sandy looms, I shouldn’t understand
No words for now, save the sorrow for later—time to love
Such a choice Joshua Cody, to be naïve—in good taste, I would understand.
