a thought.

if she tells, i'll say...

no, i don't. and you'll

ask, why?

you'll say

that's a lie.

i'll nod

       "i don't hope for hopeless things"

don't hope for soap bubble colors,

not soft baked cookies or soft baked

thoughts 

of sunday grass and breezy breaking 

voices 

soft after hours 

and you'll

ask and you'll ask,

no, no, i don't, i don't...

think about white in spring, autumn,

or falling leaves or falling for

falling bodies, failing bodies

hoping for hopeless things.
