Poem from two weeks ago (no title, I guess)

[La Luna Unita]

He told me to call him,
and so I did (an hour late) immediately
as requested.
A missed connection, a wasted heartbeat,
A lost moment in time.

I missed her today,
so I gave her a ring,
hoping to somewhat replace
the need for a hug.
Left a message, a waste of time,
a chipped optimism.

I had one conversation
(the big one) with him.
My paradigm shifted,
I became free;
We conked out on the futon
and he left the next day.

I watched a show about a stolen Vermeer
The man on the case was everyone's favorite:
They said when you ask him to do something,
he never lets you down, never drops the ball.
I don't know if he found the Vermeer.
I didn't have the dedication to finish watching.
Instead I went to a show with my brother,
Then left because I was too tired to stand for music.

Drove past a homeless man, gave him change
and a smile, minus the change.
I thought he'd like dinner.
I was back ten minutes later.
He was gone, so I prayed:
Dear Lord, let him have been a psycho and
let this have been you protecting me
because otherwise I just don't understand
why he left before I got back with some food.
A wasted moment, an empty heartbeat,

An ancient grain silo
two thousand years in the future,
when we all have power packs
and world hunger is ended
and all our food is stored underground.

I agree.
I hate to say this - for fear of seeming to be girly...
but... I got goosebumps reading this...
it really got my mind to "move"... hmmm how to better phrase that...
*shrugs* i dunno, but it was good, and I've read it a lot now.. and still like it.
Great job.
