i_hear_things
misstree i hear that you have a new She.
i hear that i have gone back to the ways
of the jingling jezabel, that i would
put the strumpets you know to shame.
i hear that you will fall short of graduation
by one class. i hear that
i am spinning through realm after realm
searching for a new clearing
to camp in. i hear that
you become angry
when i am mentioned.
i hear that
i don't speak of you much
anymore.
i hear that the scissors we once were
has been reduced to two knives,
stuck into the world, quivering.
i hear that i miss you
and i know it's a lie.
i hear that
i will remember you fondly,
and i hear that
i wish i could have you around,
but i hear that
that's a bad idea, that it never works,
and i hear that
your memory and i
aren't coping well
with the sight of you,
with the feel of your life
brushing against mine.

i hear that
you will hate me.
i've heard that before.
it will pass.

amy one time, i heard we were a pair of teachers traveling up and down the west coast, teaching naked yoga. this came to me at a time when i was jazzed enough to hear it, so, it's also got the golden stamp. and this woman said her name was Happy, as well. 031226
