Jonathan Berger's Poetry: Poem of the Day |
4GOTTEN There's something strange going on tonight like my luck's in turnaround. To meet an honest-to-god vision like yourself one who's willing to talk with me sit with me smile with me… It's too good to be true literally. Who put you up to this? My boss? Is this April Fools? Am I on Candid Camera? It is just unbelievable to think such good could happen to one so bad. I have never won the lottery not prayed to a higher power since the ‘84 Mets. To be with you is too perfect too fine. No good can come of this. It's too good to be true. Did my friends pay you to be seen with me? To sleep with me? Is that what this is about? You can tell me. I won't be mad. I just need to know the truth: Why would you ever be here with me? |
