hey.  you've been quiet.
		--------------------------------------------------------
				
		you know, did anyone tell you
		your clipped tight lower
		case sentences are
		sensuous.  i hard when i pause to imagine
		you behind them.  and when i merely walk along
		i feel massaged and i soften
		
		you know, did anyone tell you
		fog rolls into chicago
		and i am thinking
		raven
		raven flying seaward
		
		on a good day you can see the snowy
		and i can see iowa's hair
		and then we bond in blue brown haze
		of your town my town
		
		on a good night instead
		i can almost wish you weren't there
		wishing instead
		wishing you were here
