The isolation — a sentence

in Oakland or Emeryville

or

a major language barrier.  Still nobody around.

In all the excitement he sent
what he called an X-rated picture of himself,

headless, but with hands pushing his underwear down
just enough you can start to see something.

Every word is lonely.

Each word I get lonelier.

Then last night.

The one with me in it.
