Oregon

i like to dream.
and try.
I like when those things are reassured.
I am a man who needs reassurance. 

wherever liars live,
I hope they are warm
and welcomed with waffles
in the hummingbird mornings. 

I was once one of them,
filled with fear
and stars,
but now happiness haunts me.

come May, I am going west
with a good gal
and her curly hair,
where we will eat grapes.

and shut the fuck up
for once,
even while teaching 
and talking.
