a man who looks like me
helped me navigate the subway
and I gave myself credit.
how funny for him to come from Seattle and
for me to come from Boston and
for us to meet in Dallas
and talk about how horrible it is here.
he has to catch a flight to his coast
and he shakes my hand and
all the while I’m trying to remember which
fly on my bedroom wall
I sent to Washington with the message:
“Meet me in Dallas.”
