Catching a Case
 
 
I want it tobe a nice 
Surprise butshe says no
it can’t bethat way
You can’t bethat way
We will neverbe that way
And neitherwill I
By myself neither.
This is nothow it is
In the placethat is free
Of  the night air. There
Is a rock,no it is a stone.
Good evening,this is 
Not how itseems.
She puts medown
And I reachfor a gun
That Isuspect
Was leftback in the car
I remembermy dad
Told me toget some loosies
On the wayhome
At thebodega
Under thebridge and tunnel
And to dothings tight,
To be on thetow
line,waiting your
Turn, as ifthat were all 
the ways hesaid 
A humancould be 
Or become.As if it were
Never beforeand yes
She rubs methe wrong
Way and itis always 
Off of whatwe will both
Become 25years from
Now, a timewithout
the time offfor bad
Behavior andyes it always
Was.
Does feelthat way
Exactly thatway, 
as if I was not
Even human.
