“But I’d trade all of my tomorrows, for one single yesterday…” – Janis Joplin, Me and Bobby McGee
Take back my car.My new suit. My job.
Two tattoos
and the scar on my leg.
The dozens of novels
I don’t mind reading again.
Two sunglasses
and bracelets of leather.
Take back my hard drive.
My new songs. My G1.
The thousands of minutes
I don’t mind talking again.
Two of my blogs
and the unfinished novella.
The hundreds of pages
I don’t mind writing again.
Take back my rank.
My new muscles. My stuffed leopard.
Take back me.
My future. My age.
Two coastal cities
and a dozen albums of photos.
The thousands of miles
I don’t mind flying again.
If Two can Take back The hundreds of days,
I’d live them again with You.
