– I think we’re going to get bored of each other.
– That’s okay. You know, bored is okay.
Newness (2017), Drake Doremus
She is all too familiar with
the shape of her jaw,
the look of her teeth,
the position of her eyes,
the length of her limbs.
All too familiar with her
thoughts perhaps as well.
And I suppose it does make
me a kind of sad to realize she
will never meet herself with
a mind utterly vacant of reservation,
and through eyes virgin to her beauty,
for I reckon such an engagement
would shift all the stars in her universe,
much like mine did
when I first set eyes on her,
and much like they still do
every time she smiles.- d.c.
