Poem #228 for Tommy Carney

 

Wherever your mind can take you
that is where I want to go;

To the dreams and impossibilities
that sound like those crackling long plays
the good jazz
skipping over and over on the same descending triplet
and we, oblivious
never noticing how many hours go by

That is where I want to live
tending for the rest of my life to the soil of that fantasy
with respect
with care

I know I am capable of conquering this life alone
but my want is really in finding a partner in crime

Perhaps this romanticism is taboo these days…
but I don’t care
I want her anyway.

af
