today i saw two birds sitting on a telephone wire and i wondered if maybe they were on a date.  i wondered if i were a bird, if i would have lots of dates that we spent sitting on a telephone wire watching the clouds shape shift and watching the cars roll by, with little kids pointing out the window saying, "look mom, those two birds are sipping coffee in a cute little cafe on the telephone wire!" of course, the wire would never be able to hold a cafe. but i'm still stuck wondering if i will ever have a date, whether i'm a bird or not. i wish i could tell you that i don't miss you in the type of way that makes my stomach churn, b
