Hearing Your Yawns A State Away

danced to the Richard Simmons disco video until
I could no longer stomach the sad choreography
and Richard's ridiculous commentary
danced to a couple of Outkast songs
until I was sweating
took a bath
washed it all away
not thinking nasty thoughts
drove to Sea Rim on a whim
listened to my favorite Bob Dylan songs on the way
smiled at the sky
felt powerful for a few seconds
parked the car and walked toward the ocean
said hello
took off my shoes
walked into the meekly nibbling waves
thought of all the possibility
all that is before me
all that is behind me
thought of you
nothing new, same old regret and longing
and refusal to accept the fact
that we
are over.
