whatever cages once contained me have melted into the sea I'm flying free crashing cashing in winning is not the point in the other room I hear him singing "I'm just mad about Saffron" wearing my old Victoria's Secret pajama pants he wheels himself in the borrowed wheelchair to the convenience store next door to buy cinnamon cigarillos not to smoke only chew on as he finishes writing a trilogy of short stories he began two years ago I am so in love last night he drank Cape Cods in honor of Hunter S. Thompson I took another cold pill and we watched "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" in bed then tossed and turned against each other all night passing the tissues never getting comfortable he tells me he knew I was a star when he saw me walking into work wearing mismatched socks and a black leather jacket carrying a new metal lunchbox every night carrying around my pop art collages and passing around my oh so eclectic mix tapes he's the star, I tell him the retired rock star without the money but all the charisma and sex appeal and charm and presence I crave we aren't safe yet not by a long fucking shot but sometimes I glimpse the light and everything that matters is right and everything else will fall away. |
