What Lennon, Kerouac, Dylan, and Fitzgerald One Day Did Share
Out of the blue
The LSAT whiz kid came to me
And blew away life's drudgery
Blue Devil non-sorority girl
With the bluest of eyes
That do far more than see
That are far more exquisite
Than the deepest blue sea
They see with perception
Insight and foresight
Twinkling and laughing
Fireworks exploding like spiders
Across the sky in a dream spreading
A safety net web in a construction zone
Stuck in the midst with a
Vision thing seeing no way out
Because I was way too far in
To even notice where I was. I note
The only one to notice my new glasses
Keen enough to see
I'm not what I write
5 & 7 quarters Gardetto's snack mix
Sesame seed pretzels carefully
Removed counted and shared
Highlight to an ordinary humdrum day
My favorite apartment leasing angel
Who can deliver an eviction notice
With a kindly knock and a smile
If you'll be my Natalie Portman
I'll be your Matt Damon
Reborn with a renewed identity
If you be my mini-driver
I'll be a loyal listener and friend
A tadpole with a clue or two
If I only had a shiny Porsche
Then I could be more than a Lisa
You always meant far more to me
Than the girl next door
I knew you knew that
And you didn't have to stick
Hooya! in my face
Even if you wore a visible black bra
It's ten gallon Tuesday
A far cry from Slider Thursday
I never tasted your Paella
Out of line drunken flicking comment
But the cookie you shared
Made my day if not summer if not life
Your warehouse dream you also shared
Scared me because it wasn't ketchup
A friend in need is a friend indeed
Gaily revealed life explaining events
If you try and be my Liz Phair
I'll try and be your Ike Reilly
Sandra & Bob driving down Mulholland Dr.
Like a contemporary Gatsby and Daisy
How could/did you get through?
When that hasn't been an option
For others for a decade or so
Scorpio sphinx in a calico dress
A summer lunch at the History Center
With Mexican music filling the air
And we could always be comfortable
With a silent moment or two
I know and lament Tara dear
You'll never again be so near
But you'll always have that
Special place inside my soul
Because you have such a great heart
That won't always be our secret
