Hindsight is 20/20

I am here to say this

in only facts

because I don't rely on feelings.

Fact:

Your Mr. Remarkable is quiet.

Cold.

Closed off.

Didn't interact unless

absolutely necessary

smiled maybe twice.

Fact:

People rarely resist me.

He can and he did.

I'm not used to that

it was weird.

Fact:

I want to know why.

I want to know why he's here with an Oboe 2 part and fingers that sync perfectly with his tongue

playing slouched yet precisely and perfectly

a thousand contradictions within his personality

I don't know who this kid is

I don't know what I'm up against.

Fact:

He's a natural.

We're not all so lucky.

I'm good at what I do

but I can't have horrible posture

and a crystal clear tone

I can't ignore people

and still have friends.

Fact:

We have some breaking in to do.

I tried to break the ice

not knowing it went deeper than any 

tiny

buried

impulse of his to make friends.

He's a robot save for a few mistakes

why.

I want the why and the how and the who.

Who are you?

  • Envelope

    My science teacher accused me

    playfully and yet fiercely

    of stealing an envelope

    I had been threatening to peel the cover strip off of the sticky part

    so it glues together

    because it was just so tempting.

  • I believe

    I believe in America and I believe in who we could be

    but I don't believe in who we are.

    It's so easy to give up and let them reign.

    I am.

    I'm scared to stand up or say things and I haven't before,

    and I won't.

  • True love

    True love.

    Love that's true.

    Love you know

    in your heart

    is you and another person.

     

    I guess I like to think I'm in love

    I never really know.
