Wondered
By Anthony Gregory
With you, whatever we'd do,
Satiated
Some penetrating desires within.
Life was so much sweeter
And somehow a bit more honest.
I wondered.
As I dreamt of you,
So frustrated,
This gap of time before the time when
I'd once again meet her
And celebrate the circumstances upon us.
I wondered.
And I looked at you,
Pixelated,
With artificial breaks in your skin
Every centimeter
Where the toner broke its promise.
I wondered.
Why did I print you anyway?
Take you with me in the car to remind.
Take you with me in the car to rewind.
Take you with me in the car to reblind.
Take you with me in the car to resign.
I resign. Take you with me in the car.
And I glanced at you,
Half elated,
That whatever I got myself in,
This four-seater
Has got your image as its strongest
Wonder.
