What Is This All About? Poem by RIC BASTASA

i remember you want
everything silvery
the songs, the river
must be silver
never gold, you do not
like gold, never about
gods, you do not like
being a god,
i remember you do
not like popcorn
with cheese as flavor
you want
no popcorn
in movie houses
you like to simply
hold my hand
and lay your
head as close
to the beatings
of my heart
you pretend you are
so absorbed
in some dialogues
or the scenes
the action
the hero winning
at the end
all the the others
finally dead,

i remember you
yes, this is all about
it, i remember you
always, and i know
you always remember
me, always,

memories like
passing scenes
like some movies
the plot
and the actor and
his lady hugging
at the end
behind them the
sun set

unlike us, we
have no ending still
