Beautiful Thing
In honor of a bowl of butterscotch pudding, the Tragically Hip, and talking until til 3 am, I love you.
“In the ulcerating silence
perspective comes
the way it always does-for it’s random
so randomly…somebody calls…
the phone rings and it brings Niagara Falls
and 3 o’clock in the morning
“‘You’d better be dyin’-and you were
-So we talked about time
and where it went,
unremarkable events,
and how one day took two days
and they got spent.
how you’d continue, carefull, in degrees
trying to do one true beautiful thing
and your beautiful thing
it’d be
a beautiful thing
to see
that beautiful thing…”
