late: dear doc: aubade
i needed you this morning. i needed you in preparation for this morning. then, the punching started, my corner still and empty as death. i had a heart attack and listened for the ghost of you.
i watched my left and kept my guard up.
i know, i know: dodge and counter punch. my brain has exercised your words, but not my body.
i stopped at the store and bought you a chocolate bar. i think i ducked this one. but if you want to ride the bike with me today, can we discuss: how can i give what haven't got?
