BACK THEN

everybody was
listening to
Dylan
back then

and me
stumbling around
like an idiot
so much
in love you

how could I
feel
this
so exclusively

how could it
infest, invest
me
so completely?

maybe I was getting
a precious sense of this
via all
these Dylan songs

oil and water
different oceans
creatures from
different planets

and now
on different continents

still some
strange, sad exchanges
between us

destined
to separate lives
