after 2am poetry: ‘benji the dog’
i can still remember the day i called you
on the phone but you didn’t pick up
any bread from the store on your way
to the ball with your now ex-boyfriand
i claimed him to be a jerk from the beginning
of the first episode of lost
when he said the show wouldn’t make it
off the island we knew it would
come on. just play it off
this thing you have going on
we had a few laughs
you really weren’t that funny
so here i am with your memory
it ties into my other memories
and causes a cluster that i have to sift
through and through to find others
you challenged me that day
the day that i called you on the phone
you said to find a girl who wouldn’t forget
the bread
