sonnet #2

 


no one eats hope, yet it's what my life needs
i love like what i saw on the t.v.
rabid sadness to which joy still concedes 
a chess game across a lighted marquee

everyone i love would rather be dead
than play another dumb hollywood trope
act big man on campus in my dim head
it's not how real people act - i'm aslope.

i'm too much you're too much it's all too much
feeling a wild fable start to brew
i like you beyond divinity touch
into the dark depths of fictional spew

i will never be a real lover boy;
be my girl though i'm just a cheap decoy.
