<p><strong>I misplace words like spare keys. </strong><br />
Dropping Fuck You into situations that later will be impossible to get out of&#8230;<br />
I&#8217;d love to where a rather not belongs&#8230;<br />
Heaven Help Me tossed across an unmade bed slides down between<br />
the headboard &amp; wall<br />
a plea lost for weeks found only after searching<br />
&#8230;on hands and knees&#8230;<br />
A Thank You glares from an empty counter-top<br />
waiting for me to remember the obvious&#8230;<br />
I want you tucked away in the tiny front pocket of my jeans<br />
smoothly pressed into warm thighs&#8230;<br />
disguised next to my cell phone as I&#8217;ll call you&#8230;<br />
It&#8217;ll be ok toss high in the sky by hands that have already exclaimed all is lost<br />
&#8230;there is no turning back&#8230;</p>
<p>I will tie them into my shoe laces<br />
maybe let them fly out in the rhythm of my run<br />
maybe let them clink and tinkle against one another<br />
for a moment it works<br />
for a moment I have them all together<br />
for a moment I am a fucking thesaurus at break neck pace.<br />
Then mid stride all is lost<br />
in place of it nothing -<br />
leaning on the buzz words of my neighbors hoping I&#8217;ve left the front door unlocked.</p>
<p><em>*yes, I wrote it. </em></p>
