i didn't think it could be love because you play in a rock band or because you smoke a pack a day or because i always run into you on your runs to the liquor store near my house but because you shake when you talk in class and looked right at me for too long the first time we met in your apartment while you were writing a paper at the end of the fall semester but to get that look again i've been you finishing the chateau montet that stephanie and i started in late june drinking straight from the bottle and chainsmoking on the porch and only right on the walk home with your roommate talking about psychiatric medicines and families and classic american movies, calling humphry bogart bogie.
