Dedicated to Carl Estrin

"What I Wish Love Was"

I want to fall in love a city
feel no pity
an inanimate object
a lingering idea

I want to fall in love with lights 
or buildings
and or streets
that will be there now

and after I'm gone

I want to walk down streets
feeling fulfilled
by no one
by where I am

But a bullet's not a clean kill
And nothing can be a true thrill
That never moves
No matter how much we want it to stay put

Men and women were never 
meant to fall in love with statues

with cities and lights
