1.
I dreamt a dark-skinned boy with long hair
named Michael walked into my class
near the end of his rope.
Minutes later he walked out.
I followed him.
I knew where he was going.
2.
At 6 a.m. I received a text and when my phone rang
I thought: "Maybe that's Jennie".
It's been almost four years.
3.
I tossed and turned most of the night
rolled myself over and over until I was blackout drunk.
4.
I am a mark for messages
looking for them everywhere
picking them up at the drop of a hat
falling for them blindly.
Spindly life lines.
My Charlotte's web.
