I promise to let you go … the first to be asked to leave is the last to know … the best jokes everyone you know has heard … the punchline of me with every word
I promise you to be the only one … the stories you tell weigh on me like a ton … unflattering description of those who … subscribe to the services they all knew
believe to be true … what’s been sent is now past due … giving you away … the night dust settles for less by day
I promise to be … at your command with your word guarantee … all privilege and right … waived out the window just to kiss you good night
all my adult life and part of my childhood … designed by those who wish upon me no good … the brace of control … held up to the light for all to behold
kiss today goodbye … time for me to die
To Mary about Los Gatos
