i left the letter on your pillow so that you could read it
you don't want to read it
you throw it away
you tell it that you are done with it
especially when the cat doesn't come home
even a cat remembers your happy
and i remember your happy
when it came home in your smile
when it held your hand as you laughed
when it whispered in your dance
when it snuck into your room at night
sometimes
your happy calls your celular phone
it will buzz on the kitchen counter
and i will remember how it helped you smell the grass
and how ants used to crawl up your nose
like pioneers
in search of new places
new territory
to divide and conquer
your happy left a note on the front door
it used the clear tape from your desk
it must have stopped by while you were gone
wondering
when will you return?
and you say that you will never
your happy is still looking for you
it sent a telegram to your car radio
it wants to sing in your breath
it wants to dance in your feet
it wants to tell you that it missed you
i stopped at the home of your happy the other day
to tell it you were gone
your happy remembers you
it remembers the smell of your hands
it remembers the feeling of your head on its chest
it remembers the sound of your hair in the wind
it remembers your toes on the pavement and your hand in the cats hair
your happy will never say goodbye
even after you are gone
it will leave a message in your shoulders
it will tell you
your happy remembers you
your happy remembers you
There once was this kid named Preston and he accidentally wore his slippers on the city bus. He was afraid that every one would notice. He told me that the first thing he always looks at is people's feet. I don't. I look at their hair and if they have a beard or unibrow. If they happen to have one of those little soul patches under their bottom lip I get a point. The moral is that preston should stop worrying about his feet and grow a soul patch because then every time i see him I would get a point.
Who I'd like to meet: I'd like to meet people who enjoy life, my friends I don't see as often anymore, the friends I see everyday, people with some, or most, of my interests, people I would never have met otherwise, people who want a good friend, people all over the world.
