la plage sud
Some people want to help
some want to talk
Some know there is a difference
between sick and sickly.
That one ends,
one is.
Some people have
the gift of foolishness,
others abandon.
More still sit up
floors above crowded bars
and try to think of synonyms for love.
It’s not that I don’t know, you know, it’s-
I just can’t help it, seeing you
looking at me
as if you’ve just remembered what you’d promised,
and what can really be.
