His heart is an ocean that’s inside another ocean.
           —reporter Roxanne Ritchi, in the film 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.
