i don't want to read about
the special free cell phone offers
or how now is the time to refinance my mortgage
or how i can enlarge my penis.

i don't want to read about
drunken virgin college sluts
in big dripping gangbang 'em orgies
or how to lose weight with a pill
or how true love is only a click away.

i only want to read
that we are going to be how we once were,
how we were in the beginning-
how we used to laugh & smile & love
but i can't read that.
i will never get that email.

life reminds me of a good book sometimes-
that rare & wonderful book you run across
maybe a few times in your life
where you are actually sad that it is over
& when you see the end pages get thinner & thinner
you still have to turn the pages
to the end.
