what i cannot be and cannot have

he is neat
and i am all loud
color
mess

he is patient
and i cannot
sit
still

he is wise
and i lust after
every bit
of knowledge

he is calm
and i chain
smoke
camel lights

he is framed
perfectly
in the hallway
with the light burnt out
because I don't bother
to change it
but he is lit
like James Dean
with the light
pouring from my
bedroom

where I lie
waiting
in his shadow
