i want to know you i want to know you about your childhood past running along the ocean beach while your father pulled fish's spleens. i want to know you about your teenage years selling popcorn at carnivals while getting high with tattooed men. i want to know you about leaving graduate school dating professors and being raped by an athlete. i want to know you about your wildest dreams aspirations of someday being recognized as a star. i want to know you about your last confession as the priest held your hand and watched you slowly die. i want to know you about haunting past loves looking from the mirror and seeing their bitter faces. i want to know you my kindred spirit anonymous friend and phantom lover. i want to know you. joe kolb
Reason for writing:
this poem was inspired by a woman that i wanted to be involved with. she said no but there were many questions, thoughts, feelings and fantasies i had anyway. i wanted to submit it because i am sure there are many people who wonder about relationships that never happen.
