To You/Who Almost Turned/Me On


yeah.
        my man.
got no place else
to go. have
to turn to myself.
        child/like
am i my man.
i believe in fairy tales
(tales told by fairy men)
        slow
        fabricated
        stories that scare.
like. today.
        full
of yesterday's hide and
seek shadows, i kissed
a strange mouth out of
control. but.
        strangers are
rainbow colored and
        i am
color blind.
