| It didn�t matter 
 | 
    | 
 | 
    | that I didn�t get stalked back, 
 | 
    | as I was on a one way street 
 | 
    | traveling into a vena cava 
 | 
    | over and over 
 | 
    | marching into a dirt farm 
 | 
    | on the sidewalk 
 | 
    | 
 | 
    | that words I imagined mouthed 
 | 
    | deeply, coarsely never blew 
 | 
    | into my neck or my eyebrow 
 | 
    | the I know, I know 
 | 
    | never written, faxed, 
 | 
    | IM�d, scribbled on my dirty car 
 | 
    | 
 | 
    | that I was the boy 
 | 
    | in the bubble using sign 
 | 
    | language, fore-finger-thumbing 
 | 
    | the �L�, the curved fist of �E� 
 | 
    | the single finger �T� 
 | 
    | and continuing 
 | 
    | �LET ME OUT� 
 | 
    | 
 | 
    | it did not matter- 
 | 
    | my non-reciprocated love 
 | 
    | 
 |
