"Where Are The Clowns?"
(dear you)
(i wrote to another 'you' the other day)
(i didn't notice until this morning exactly what i'd done.
except for a memory, a single once, you were, without falter or change for four years. i likewise was constant. i stood fast.
i thought hidden in the captial letters of your name was the substance to make your pronoun appear in print. perhaps there is. but this ellipsis has gone on too long.
i need to exist outside of parentheses. i don't want to be bracketed off or denoted by a dash. i seek apposition. both for you and for me.
i write as though you read this type. i write as though you'll notice i'm gone.
(dear you, be well.
(there will never be a we)))
