Reading a book.
Talking on the phone.
I could watch you all night.
You have the prettiest eyes I’ve ever seen.
Every night, I find some way to see you.
I tell you I love you but you don’t hear me.
The window is closed.

I open the door and there you stand,
In tears.
I see you cry. My eyes redden. I cry.
You look up, but I’m not there.
I never was.

Water Skiing
Sliding into the wet rubber,
Dawn the skis and wait to be pulled!
It pulls and swerves,
The motor moans pleasantly at the speed
Until you can’t take it anymore – you fall limp into the water
Frustration ensues and waits for you to get back up.

Today, I died.
I looked across.
There she was.
Reading a book.
She brushed her hair aside.
She smiled.
She waved.
My heart stopped.
I couldn’t breathe.
My flesh turned cold.
I became stiff.

Toe. Heel. 1, 2, 3.
I’ve got your eye.
Toe. Heel. 1, 2, 3.
You’re impressed.
Toe. Heel. 1, 2, 3.
You shuffle back and spin.
Toe. Heel. 1, 2, 3.
I’m down on one knee.
You sit on the other.
You kiss me on the cheek.
Your beads spill all over.
