DEAR DAVID:
by Joanna Gilman Hyde
The Hawk Corner Room 3:34pm
Let’s give up
this fairy tale business
I’m straight in the head
& will not fall into a trance
seeing You across a parking lot
I will not grab You in public
& try to kiss You
like The Princess
& The Frog
please let’s end this
lifetime of Love
hidden & declared
I have said enough
& You have withheld
Your Dream
