The choice is alone
rather than with someone flawed
so far- it's alone
even though I am flawed too
and even though I'm lonely

Whatever we are
she says to me in passing
of our connection
and I wonder what we are
hanging up at 2 AM

"Where there's life there's life,"

A friend of mine's father wrote

And he believed it

And he practiced what he preached

Living as long as he could

and and and i say
and sometimes i say oh man
other times; and yet
these are like musical tics
my ambivalent mantras
