I saw you
like a laminated letter, the
message was there but the
text was not clear, a mess of the ink
becoming lost in the meaning but
not a single word made clearer
in the ways that a person can see,
sometimes deep within a brain a
person can make more work than
could ever be accomplished by
the hands, you new I was here, here
for you even though you didn’t
know how much it was true, it
just took all your energy to keep on
getting up in the morning and now that
you were having a better job in the
evening a whole different world had
opened up its arms for you, and if
you knew when the champion of late
moon sparkle had planned to be here
then you would have acted differently,
but now it is just the final flow of an
overworked crew, ranch hands and
waitresses and bartenders and cooks,
with nothing better to do than collect
together, like leafs in a rain gutter,
and they wouldn’t believe the magic
if it walked up and asked for
the time
