It was so long ago. So vivid still though. I remember being inspired to write the original when I was driving you home one night, or we were heading back to your parents' place at night - remembering the drive is more important than the reason.
I had one hand on the wheel and the other in yours. I haven't read "Keeper" in a while but I remember it going something like, "left on the wheel, right with a new seal."

I still like that word ever since you told it to me: mythomane.

I was in Lindsay when I wrote this. Just got back from the doctor's and was going to be heading back to the city but decided to stay at home for another couple days. I did write it after seeing the photo you posted. It's an amazing shot. Your eyes are so clear in it.

I wanted to write something after I had heard from you that you needed "space" and I heard from Chris that you told him you needed "time." This is my acceptance of that request. It was also an attempt at post-modernism with all my references to other works... I don't think I succeeded very well in that regard!

I'm sorry it makes you upset again... I'm always able to conjure so much imagery with you.

So I was totally thinking of the wrong poem... But I found the right one and I remember it now as well.
