Dry Versus Wet

there are fantasies
a spiral notebook
filled with sexy short stories
endless possibilities
a tidal wave of passion
crashing against a lifetime
of rocks
there are clocks and calendars
and other reminders
of our mortality
our smallness
lines and blemishes on our faces
pain in our eyes
temporarily kissed and caressed and fucked away
and today I am reminded of my laziness
and the long winding road stretching out before me
today I am stuck in reality mode
yesterday I sent you a letter
telling you I am ready to camp out in the Met with you
explore what we've found
the beauty
the value
we both treasure
and know
we'll never get to the bottom of
but love can be ugly
and harder than a sidewalk bed
somewhere on the Lower East side
and you can hide from the hunger
and the absolute freaked out locked out terror
but it will find you
somewhere far
from Macy's
and the Thanksgiving parade.
