here is a haiku to set the mood:

i view you with eyes
of telescopes.  you see me
through a blind man's eyes.


i am as depressed as my
tongue.  an examination
of my uvula lets doctors
tell me what's wrong
with me
                                                                                  everything
your orthodontist told me
to close my eyes
& open my mouth

your optometrist told me
to close my mouth
& open my eyes

you told me
to close my heart
& open my legs,

but i just closed the window
of your Facebook, a window
of opportunity,
& opened a door
shaped like your
nothing.

as i exited,
i found my
Something
i would run across a blistering sky for you,
but i know you don't like my poetic clichés
