You know you want to add me...

Natal perception
The water escapes
encompassing the trident,
which emerges from the stable,
reliable exterior.
The finger of curious intellect
and abstract insight
jab at the empathetic
concealed glow of the moon
Fast forward
to the three fathers:
Jovial
Stern
Dark
weighing beneath the descent,
seeking a symmetric,
harmonious rhythm.
The great rebel teases the centaur
with his erratic
bohemian desires.
The collective wave and its
passion
ego
impulse
rippling with affliction
and fortune.
The complexity of it all
accentuated by self reflection
dramatized through contact
intensified with intimacy
yet perceived as just me.

without any guidance or assistance from you
i have loved you assiduously for 8 months 2 weeks & a day
i have been stood up four times
i've left 7 packages on your doorstep
forty poems 2 plants & 3 handmade notecards
i left town so i could send them to you
you have been no help to me on my job
you call at 3:00 in th emorning on weekdays
so i could drive 27.5 miles cross the bay before i go to work
charming charming
but you are of no assistance
i want you to know
this was an experiment
to see how selfish i could be
if i would really carry on to snare a possible lover
if i was capable of debasing myself for the love of another
if i could stand not being wanted
when i wanted to be wanted
& i cannot
so
with no further assistance & no guidance from you
i am ending this affair

this note is attached to a plant
i've been watering since the day i met you
you may water it
your damn self.
