never and ever

it's as if i won't ever
listen
to anyone


never will i
pay attention to
what i've done and who's said what and why and where and


ha. i just won't.

adventure

i do declare
we may be on to something here.


humdrum nothingness is nothing indeed
compared to the feelings left after words are exchanged.
voices heard.
contentedness found.


and i lie here in the dark 
sleep doesn't come
and i don't know what it is about
you and that and 
oh your voice
that's all it takes, i guess


age and distance are nothing but numbers
right dear ? and
i was never good at math.


i think i'm in trouble now but
danger beckons and
i think it's luring me all the closer to an adventure i never thought i'd have
and always hoped i would.


(but in the end, then, i guess it's better to keep thoughts, 
words,
feelings
like these to myself.)
