"If I'd only been there"



If I'd only been there


when you were 18
or 25 or 12 or 45.

I get you now,
slightly jaded,
older, with hair graying
at the temples,
and gone on top.

I wish we'd spent
our lives together.

But, then we'd
take each other
for granted, no doubt.

I don't want that.

I never want that.

"Hogan's Hero"



Hogan's Hero


"I know nothing."

About men,
or so it seems.

Too distracted
to love me,
at the moment.

I hear all about
the German Jews,
the actors,
the TV show.

A casual evening
becomes a history
lesson.

"I know nothing."
