If I Only Remembered.m4v

If I only remembered by the montjuics

I squad on the black railing framing
the dog park in Union Square.

watching the dogs chasing each others auras.

mini clouds of dust form, remind me
that I am also here in body,

sitting heavy on a black rail,


other people can see me as well as I can see them.

I feel like being fair
for a change,.


I feel like that number in the crowd
my mom always talks about

trying to convince me to leave the city and go back home
trying to convince me to leave the city and come back home.


I often catch myself repeating myself
in casual conversations /self-conscious debates

"so many things will bring you down,
so few will lift you up",
I wish I had control.

All the things I wished for
I got one way or another,
and since it was up to me,
I chose what I wanted
and left the things i need

for the future.

I don't make plans because it never comes my way.
I pretend to be like everyone else
but you. If I only remembered how special I am,
If I only remembered how special you are,
to me,
to yourself,
to the others.
