Something it was not June 19, 2015

  

I always confused the two each time, when I know they are not the same, the act as opposed to the emotion, always a train wreck waiting to happen when both run towards each other on the same track, this need for me for this to be that, the act that inspires me when in fact it is not the thing you think it is, something else as significant, perhaps, not significant at all, as with the man (men) you bring home, not at all on the same track, just an act, to feel good, for a moment when it all fades awa, when the train moves on, while I need for it to be something more, to have it mean more than just an act that we forget about once the door closes and I stumble down all those flights of stairs to the street, my train rushing on tracks in a dark and empty tunnel, from which I later emerge, thinking it was something that it was not
