I wish we'd grown up on the same advice

Wish we'd played in the hallway together.
Teethed on impossibility,
That summered hue of self-control.
I know you don't need me right now
And this feeling will jump again
Like the filament between our backs
when we move in different directions
jump like skeins of light sparkling across the
skin of the Hudson. I want to feel
like I felt I did after the strong cups of Ethiopian coffee
I'd drink with my roommate on the balcony most mornings,
talking about the day to come. Love myself like I love
you - when I need you.
