"There you go again,

droppin' wisdom like

it's nothin' at all,"

he says as he 

glances up from 

the newspaper. 

And she likes to mention,

"How freakishly poetic

my entire life is."

While I make coffee

humming your name

like some new top 40 track.

It's not that I want to write,

just something I have to do 

if I want to get through life

with more living than surviving

and I hope that's what I am

remembered for. Poetically.
