space.
all the stars are aligning and telling me i should waste myself,
thanks God, now i finally know how you feel.
my mind's unfolding like a movie reel,
i think in scenes, i'm acting to appease
the whole of the milky way
and not you anyway, turn to dust and fade into the night away.
i still want your body here, floating next to mine in space.
the universe is a paradox and i hate myself,
i'll love you till my car crashes into somebody else,
everything i say is meaningless
and nothing matters except for you.

This has a cool syllabic cadence which counterpoints, what seems to me, a nuance of emotion beneath the jazz of it's wordplay.
I would be thrilled if you would send an audio reading of this to the site's podcast, The Poetcast Project. I think people would benefit from hearing this and the feature may draw interest to your writing on site. If you would be interested, please send an mp3 or mp4, including your screen name and the poem's title, to:

Member participation is the life's blood of the podcast, so I hope you will consider it.
In kindness,
Daniel
