"i don't think this next poem needs any introduction-- it's best to let the words speak for themselves"- Billy Collins, in his poem, "The Introduction."
2.16.2005
Light
The car is holding us
And we are holding hands
And your hair is holding sunlight
And the sunlight’s holding secrets
And it tells your hair everything
And I do too.
But i can only think the things i tell.
i think
Your hair smells like just hair because it’s just too original to smell like anybody else.
And i think
i love you i love you i love you
and i am not supposed to think that.
The sunlight doesn’t think; it just holds us
and it holds I am 6pm and the train is coming soon
it holds our hair and hands that we hold together till we don’t think anymore.
and it holds: I am falling Light is
falling from your back
as we fall silent
and i fall, with light, down train tracks and dark thinking horizons:
i think
i want your hair to smell like me
i think
i have to leave now.
i think
i (don't want to) stop
holding you
Like Light.
And we are holding hands
And your hair is holding sunlight
And the sunlight’s holding secrets
And it tells your hair everything
And I do too.
But i can only think the things i tell.
i think
Your hair smells like just hair because it’s just too original to smell like anybody else.
And i think
i love you i love you i love you
and i am not supposed to think that.
The sunlight doesn’t think; it just holds us
and it holds I am 6pm and the train is coming soon
it holds our hair and hands that we hold together till we don’t think anymore.
and it holds: I am falling Light is

as we fall silent
and i fall, with light, down train tracks and dark thinking horizons:
i think
i want your hair to smell like me
i think
i have to leave now.
i think
i (don't want to) stop
holding you
Like Light.
