Letter Unsent, Years Later...
"I know you say I haven't lost my IQ,
that paper isn't always buoyant,
and ink is highly soluble.
I guess brain power is relative...
These are probably journal thoughts,
but my journal is overcrowded with politeness
as if the person I really can't show my feelings to,
is me.
So, I'm dropping this anvil in an envelope and sending it your way.
I'm at some sort of a point.
(Turning or breaking, I'm not sure which).
So...
If you could...
please produce yourself here this second...
Come in a genie bottle or a puff of smoke...
Squint your eyes in my direction and tell me a story...
For I do so want something good to happen
and if I space my breaths out just right,
I'll have enough left in me to last until you arrive..."
