sometimes not as planned

little bird

o gosh

i thought i would be

in an alley apartment

in toledo

in the awful heat



but with a girlfriend

living from a dead end job

the way poets are suppose to be

i always thought there would be

a girlfriend, but never as you



i would be sweating

like i am now

passing time on a day off

waiting for the girlfriend

who was not you

to come by



in the awful toledo heat

where people play their music

and arguments too loud

where a week before

july they are shooting off

illegal fireworks



there was no a/c in

my future, but for work

and there was not

the sweetness of you

with your worries

and your smile that glows

against the night



sometimes we don’t end

where we should

but it is nice when

we do
