St. Isidore of Seville (patron of the internet -in process-)


last I knew, you were married,

bouncing babies on both hips.


last I knew, you were somewhere in Vietnam,

coughing from the back of a motorbike.


last I knew, you were heartbroken & hungry,

listening to your battered plastic radio.


last I knew, you were biking across the country,

wondering what happens afterwards.


last I knew, you found out he was

dating a woman in every state.


last I knew, you bought a car

as shiny as a candy apple.


last I knew, you were with her.

she looks nothing like me.


last I knew, you signed off.

I do not have your number.


last I knew, I knew nothing

about you. I like it that way.
