Pursue The Madness To It's Logical Conclusion

J in Torrance
you can call this
a chance encounter
because i don't really know
how else you would describe it.

it has been more than a few months
since the last time i stepped into ---------------
to get a bite to eat.
the last time was surely
last year at some point.

i would always go in with a few
coworker friends and sit around
talking about absurdities.

i remember seeing your face then.
so young an beautiful.

today,partially from hunger and desire
for a decent sandwich i stepped in.

as i went to pay i saw you behind the counter
wearing your hair up beneathe a red cap
that is part of your uniform.

we spoke and talked about past recognitions
of each other. you had a beautiful smile.

you made sure to tell me to come back.

maybe i will.


performer
who i am
in my day to day life
is not the same person i am
when i am on a stage.
tonight will be
just another
example
of who
i like
to be.
