today's afternoon

in the middle of the day, my mind wanders away for a walk in the humid sky. i reach for it, try to grab it but it is gone and it has taken my heart with it. i know that only some love can fill my body that is left crouching over a desk. otherwise it will collapse. but people are strange. they will make fun of me. and people change. they will not come to me.

you listen to a song, you look at the past and feel sad but today is no different than any day in the past. why don't you think about today as much as you think about that day. and maybe reach over, forgetting how far you might be, to catch my heart and bring it back to me?
