i was asleep when you happened. you did something. you read camus and you moved somewhere you are not now.

you were ashamed of books. you were happening. it made you beautiful and you might have seemed beautiful. you typed something into my calculator. your grandmother made little pillows with tooth pockets on them.

you were about to cough yourself to death. you said "jump" and answered yourself "no thank you". i was asleep when you happened.

if i could tell you one thing for the rest of it
i would say "it's not raining"
and i hope that's enough for you

please tell me if this is okay
you see i've written so many poems not about you

is it possible for a poem to be waiting
