I once dreamt that she was at a wedding
saw how in love the bride and groom were
and decided she was going to leave you
right then and there, and you told me this
and neither of us was torn up about it
maybe that’s why I noticed, when you woke
in your crazy busy life I know so little of
in this insane, chaotic world on fire
the first thing you did was to check
what I had decide to share that day
before 8 a.m., before you got ready
to go to work, or had morning coffee
before you checked your e-mail
maybe even before you had a chance
to plant a hurried kiss on your future wife
I noticed because I admit, I liked the way
we talked and laughed and met eyes
the way you cupped my face in your hands
and stared at me half a second too long
touched the top of my head as I dozed off.
