an alien voice woke me up this morning
from a slumber i could not really fall into.
missing identity without cards to validate.
a call from the unknown,
turned out to be a voice i needed to hear today.
i only recognized it was him
by the guessing game he continued to play.
then the familiar laugh after he heard my giggle.
"do not place fear into any of the decision you make,"
my receptive nature soaked in his words

holding hands you came.
and holding hands you left.
as i kicked and caused the trash to tumble.
i keep waking from naps
reaching for something to smoke or drink.
incapable of keeping up.

i keep waking up,
you outside my doorway to remind me
of an exterior idea made by my own imagination.

she said i could be her sidekick.
maybe i'll be straight, too.
