I know how special he is and I think
he knows how special I am.
He’s earnest to a tee and always
surprising me with his poignant silences that never fail to drive me both insane
and more in love with him.
The poetry drives me like nothing else
and I believe the music does the same for him.
We challenge ourselves everyday by
waking up and climbing out of bed.
There’s nothing more spectacular than
being the captain of our own destiny and carpe diem is our friend and
confidante if we let it in.
I traded punches with the champ until
realizing it was a champ from forty or fifty years ago and I best get with the
times before the times swallowed me whole and spit me out like a bad matzo ball.
I asked Dan to come to a feature I’ve
scheduled in August and he was non-committal which broke several ventricles in
my brain because I couldn’t understand why such a supportive person wouldn’t
commit to supporting me.
We work together like Yin and Yang,
like Bob and Dylan, like peanut butter, banana and bacon.
I was standing at attention when the
President walked by then I remembered he had lost the popular vote by three
million so I put on my Hillary mask and scared the bejesus out of this
stable genius.
When I tell you you’re shaped like a
pear I mean it affectionately and to be completely honest sometimes I believe
we’ll end up together especially when considering how much you hate show tunes
and how I can stomach them with a little help from my friends.
Emailing with you while you’re at work
and I’m desperately trying to stay alive makes me smile from ear to ear and
from California to Delaware.
We need to soon get into a rental with
a CD player, put on Saved and leave this toxic world behind us in a ring of
fire and “See That My Grave Is Kept Clean” coughing smoke.
I love you more than puppies and
vitamin D. milk. I love you more than the colors of the rainbow and the pills
Judy kept on her bedside table and I hope you love me just as much and realize
we have always been in this together even before that fateful night when Queen
Jayne gave us her seal of approval.
