Joel

Enough said
from sad eyes.

Is this the end,
or is this when I tell Joel
about Kendra Jean,
the love of my life.

Joel is an innocent bystander,
standing by my simple things
for dumb love and curiosity.

I know what is under
and I know what is above,
I say.

Do you?
He asks.

I got nada in bodegas,
and I am solo in Union Square.
I don't ever know
how I got here.

Talking to Joel
while waiting for the end
is like playing hide-n-seek
and being too good at it.

I want to be caught.
So catch me.
