Day 285: Like You

---

∴

there is no one like you.

not in the world,
and i’ve looked.

 

i have wondered about you
on gravel roads
and in elevators,
in strange woods,
and when the food took too long
at restaurants.

even now,
if there’s a moment
that escapes from life’s plan
i consider what
you’re doing.

if i muse well –
the things you must be up to –
i let myself imagine
doing them beside you.

 

when i leave town,
it’s the worst
(or the best;
depends how you look at it,
i guess).

 

the structure of normal
and the vision of “my life”
fades a little
and all the new things i see
or taste
i want to bring to you
like a little kid
with a coloring page
to show you:

be amazed.

 

by nothing really,
but it’s everything, too.
because only your eyes could see it
the way i do.

with whom else can i share it,
when there’s no one like you?
