today I thought of you because today
on the radio, the garbled chatter noise, news
reported a man climbed the highest peak in Wales
wearing just his superman underwear.
his hubris, like yours, climaxed to hyperthermia
and it will remain frozen in mastodon time.
today I thought of you so I wrapped up tighter
in my denial blanket: new job, new car, new house,
new cat, new husband, new life, new day
only thing not new is that quilt I stole from your parents
and I thought of what you thought, but realized
nothing's changed: you're probably just thinking of you.
