poem

 Lost in TranslationI can ’t sleep anymoreTormented by the possibilitiesOf what Bob whispered to CharlotteAt the end of Lost in TranslationThere ’s a theory he ad libbed the lineTold her he had to be leavingBut wouldn ’t ever let that come between themBut that doesn ’t resolve anythingIt ’s a platitudeHe ’s speaking all sideways TangentiallyToo much like poetryWhen we ask what he saysWhat we really want to knowIs what he ends up doing.  I know what he should have said:I love you and cannot leave youAnd need you always hereFrom now until the end of my light While he folds her into his embrace And the curtain dropsOr the movie ends  And our life begins You can tell from the look on her face6/23/22
