April 25th, 1978 ?:?? p.m . poetry by Michael F. Nyiri


"Another Morning Again" Cathy poem

And again and again
blew 80 bucks over my day off
had a lot of fun
    just trying to forget the vacancy left by you
and tonight
when
maybe I could say hello
you'll not be there
and I'll miss you

It's hilariously funny
I know
I only see you at work
And you're bored at work
I wish I could spend
All of our eternities together
But that's (as usual) asking too much

I wish for just another moment
with you
You inspire me (that's not just an idle compliment),
You fill my meager existence with meaning.
You listen to what I say

And I haven't said it all yet.

Clock in clock out go home
You forget me as soon as I'm gone
I'll remember you forever.
I love you.
1978
