I Will Try to Forget When You Ask Me To

Today I dreamed of dangerous things.

On the interstate in my car, I played songs I thought I could squeeze some melodic heartbreak from and tried to drown there. I thought of driving until my gas tank ran out, then filling up and driving back again. I thought of writing letters to men who don't know me anymore and asking them to remember me, to offer their knowledge so that I could see myself from another mirror than the one that has imprisoned me. I thought of confessions, of drunkenness, of grasping and of letting go.

And then my car coasted into my garage, and I came inside

to find that he had opened my new X-Box game and already had redeemed the free downloadable content, waiting on me only to press "start" as I came through the door.
