You dropped young Jule
into unknown Roosevelt
apartment, took off with Lee
to scope the Rochester gay
scene, or dance, or to…
She woke up
and cried, fell back to
sleep, woke up an cried, so I
hugged her and in my
mind I cried.
Back then I thought you
could replace the giant hole
in my heart; then two others
tried, but I cannot be changed
so they tired, as you
saw again
in beloved Hamburg;
even Brahms neighborhood
could not smooth over
the fact that
you were with
the new right man, and I had
stayed past the
expiration date
of the plastic key
in the nice
inexpensive place you found
- You knew,
better than I, how time
flies, makes bad moves worse.
