fictive romance

[e_dog]

We slept together on the bus.
You were about three rows ahead.

For twenty minutes at least
I watched you in an angular profile
nodding asleep while holding a book
till it fell
and you fell
asleep.

And i fell
asleep.

When I woke up it was dark outside
and you had already gotten off
at an earlier stop.

Ah, the endless burbs and suburbs, so full of sleep deficit and numb possibility...

[Totenkopf]

Interesting, like from the "Collected works of John Hinckley........"

[e_dog]

that's where i found it!

not quoted in full.

The first stanza is:

Hello, I love you
won't you tell me your party affiliation?

[Doreen Peri]
