Sweetest Babu

Do you still read all of my stories?

Do you still have the matching pair of Goku pajama pants

Did you pursue your masters?

Are you still a flight attendant?

How’s your modeling?

Do you still think? Freddie Jackson is a better singer than Luther Vandross

Or did we settle on Teddy Pendergrass?

Cleveland sucks.

I still can’t write a poem like you

Using the litany of literary devices

Instead sticking to what we know of me

Writing about nothing and all my vices or recent complaint about prices

However preempting you has always been easy

What would she say

What would she write.

Intertwine your spine with mine?

Man, I wish I could dance

We could have certainly danced more in 2021

And had a little more fun

Had a little one

I can’t believe the last contact we made was one-sided

He responded to one of my stories and immediately my blood pressure dipped.

That’s probably been 2 years now and I still haven’t read it.

Tell me my former friend

How have you been?

I wanna know

I want to know what happened when you pulled away from my house and stopped at the stop sign the last time

We’re you crying like me

Did your tears never stop like mine?

It’s a good thing you got away from me

And it was only because of you that I know who I had to become

I’d never been in love before

Or proposed to

I didn’t think the woman that I met in 2020

For a video called for a couple of weeks and then stopped

Would later come to my house for my birthday.

And creates such a explosively exciting exuberance in my house

Run Al’s bedroom and lock the door

Only to come out for me to grab you and spank you And those tight jeans you had on

I never thought that same woman would come to my house every week.

Youd cry when you had to leave

I would wait for you to leave to ball.

Shit girl. I wasn’t ready for you

Do you remember when we drove to Ohio and saved Ngozi from the Amish?

Remember the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame?

Do you remember or I criticized you endlessly and never let you forget how poorly you made me feel so long ago

Of course you do

But you’ve moved past it

I’ve not

I still love you
