MovingA Poem by Nothing PersonalThere wasn't anything as it seems. Or Nothing is as it seems. Innocence is a favorite lost word.
I have decided now
I will stay alone in a one bed room apartment I won't buy any new furniture except a wooden table to place my new television set where I would watch 2 episodes of "The Sopranos" everyday. I don't need friends I knew that long ago Back when I was a little boy yet Boys of my age had forgotten even to bully me my insipid silence mistaken for my invisibility girls hardly noticed me because I pretended to hardly notice them from my 3 foot by 3 foot wooden bench & chair Back then, I had my own world Rather worlds, worlds where a fictional Mr. Tom Mathews was a savior of the planet Earth from numerous planet Earths floating in the ephemeral universe all essentially evil so that Tom had to visit them & plant nukes within their very cores as "the only way out was in" Now, I have Megan or Should I say had. She lives in this beautiful efficiency with a giant sized teddy her idea of someone better than me. She has a nice flat screen TV a wonderful bookshelf a cosy kitchen and a talking walk in closet where I could easily live with her wardrobe , accessories, perfumes. Her wonderfully brown hair is now tied in a nice little bun and she smells of creams and fresh oranges and she wears formal shirts and coffee colored skirts when she leaves for work every morning. I could have lived with Megan but our worlds never collided the way they should have although I distinctly remember of having brushed in her kitchen and making chocolate brownies in her oven or watching her perfect TV and stealing a book or two from her shelves. My friend Chris, who will also be my ex roommate tells me he will move in the same apartment complex as Megan. He says he will sign the lease come Monday and start living in a efficiency just like hers He says we will keep meeting on Fridays and come un-announced to each other's apartments our way of maintaining our beautiful friendship yet not living under the same roof. I gather he plans to get married early next year. As of me, I am excited to move into this one bedroom apartment they say I will have a coffee table where I will read all day and write whenever I want. I could impoverish as well because I won't cook food for myself. I will stay sober Because I won't buy beer. I was hoping Megan would visit me now that I will have a coffee table so that I can read her my poems while she sips coffee and I get inspired by her cream odor and the teddy bear who looks smiling back at me with large giant ears from her t-shirt. © Nothing Personal.
