U and I 

thirteen letters apart

we don’t try 

to move closer what’s wrong 

 

love from a distance

framing every desire

in space and time

we get lonely then why ask Y

 

you’re never far 

from my thoughts 

occupying all space 

in my heart 

 

absentee 

landlord 

with all the tea

from china 

 

I dream about you 

writing around in circles 

with these desires 

designed to hurt us 

 

twenty-six letters 

in a row 

a lazy fox 

brown dog show
