missed connections

Loose

The night we met was set up by both
of us. I saw you arrive

(Right now I’m eating a piece of whole-wheat toast
with peanut-butter and a glass of milk.)

and I made my way to someone you
were speaking with and then we

touched shoulders
and began to speak.

(That night I was on more than
sixty MGs of Oxycontin.)

I was loose.
