 My eyes leak
My throat’s thick
But I don’t sob
I’m not sad
I’m not sorry
I’m not lying
. . . I’m moved? Thoughtful? Weirded out?
Yeah, I guess that works.

I was confused
When you said
I love you but I don’t –
I love you but I won’t –

I was confused
But I wasn’t . . . really.
It’s funny how we can talk
With sounds of silence
Or nonsense
And somehow, the outsane is articulate
I understood what you meant
But I didn’t . . . really.

Then I thought of our conversations
Of what we wanted to name our kids
And I thought of my thought (or fear?) behind the curtian
Of what would happen
When my impossible would come true
When I’d be asked to give myself to you

My first reaction would be
A tilt of the head, a smile,
An “Of course love.”
As if it were an invitation to Rocky Horror
Or a nuzzle of black curls
Or a “Sorcha. . .Are you happy?”

Because everyone knows a hippy chick
Can’t say no to a boho boy

Even if she thinks
I love you love, but what about life?
What about exploring and figuring things out first?
What if we end up like Jamie and Cathy?
In love, but not ready to settle down,
Be sane, be serious, be . . . just be.

Mark Cohen’s double, Steve. . .
(You remember Steve . . . he was Barenaked with Short Story)
Says it better than I can
“When you’re done
With being beautiful and young
When that course is run –
Then come to me.”
