His heart is an ocean that’s inside another ocean.
            —reporter Roxanne Ritchi, during Megamind


As if tossed at sea.   Telling a face
I’m sorry I can’t lie to you.   Can you
remember why you didn’t want to
say anything?

He is my boyfriend 22 years old
with layers that start peeling away.
Somebody told me I was a
back-up like Troy.   The cute one.

I ask Ambiguous for help.
Don’t I ever?   He responds with
a lesson on friendship and love
as seen in the latest installment of

Harry Potter.   Am I the wise guy?
Am I Ron the dork?   “Heart,”
he calls him.   It’s the most
touching moment ever.   “But

maybe Harry just has a hard-on,”
I suggest.   “Perhaps he sees this as
his one window of opportunity.”
Everyone’s an air of disappointment.
