61.

Match.com profile:
Looking for empirical girl
interested in quality,
preferably biology major.
Hopefully very apt at
empathizing with birds
and anything thus trite.
Willing to find character
in anything tangible
and anything poppy.
Ready to admit the irony
when satire is flung. 
Okay with 
red
blue
white
and green
tangent flags.
Ready, as Hemingway so mortally was
to seek refuge in sense.
This is not a poem.

The
dull 
white of a National Geographic 
bat
would be how
I would say your face was,

For that moment I remember.

I mention "bat" specifically because
it was against a 
black 
background
but I mention "specifically" because
no one besides 
us would fully understand
how black that ground actually was (
with dull smoke rising in the distance)

My used-Nissan headlights were dull that night
(as they bore fully into the melanin of your body)
,
and back into the retina of mine. I remember few freckles,
even though you have many:
(I know now).
Since, We have faded. We have faded. We have faded.

Into true tracks for each
your's by generational means 
of illusion
and mine by generational means 
of allusion.
One day, I will discover.
You never will.

Never has anyone,
just themselves,
told me silly for hiding under my blanket every night.

I was 1 in '92
8 in '99 and
20 in 20-12.

We were the first to find
Facebook
and last to have a childhood.

"He is the leader of the class"
my kindergarten teacher once
told my mom,
"Everyone loves him."

In theory I am not a leader,
and never will be.
Leaders lead by touch
and by breath.
As unlost as my generation now is
( )?

Bleak in our face
by Dionysis said far gone,
gone beyond
but we pursue.

We follow brags of brags of kings.
Fish forever,
from streams of iron
from streams of pois.

poisson du leu
poisson de leu
poisson et cheval
hahah gone for communes
lack points to find
I've finally lost myself.

Give.
Help.
Please.
