LOST ANGELS 2

The angel of fear and the angel

of self-consciousness, the

angel of never enough and the

angel of too fucking much,

the angel of nicotine and the

angel of caffeine, the angel of

New Jersey and the angel of

Colorado, the angel of nakedness

and the angel of covering up,

the angel of discontent and

the angel of serendipity, the

angel of loose and appropriately

sexy female energy and the angel

of overly flirtatious and

inappropriately seductive male

attention, the angel of too many

jokes and the angel of repressed

resentment, the angel of feeling

safe in the relationship enough

to make you think she might

leave it for you and the angel

of talent gone unrecognized,

the angel of no talent and

the angel of knowing how to

make money on that, the angel

of the unrelenting love jones

and the angel of music too

loud and acoustics too stupid

to hear someone sitting at

the same table, the angel of

being alone in the same old

crowd of other lonely people

and the angel of wanting to

be naked and turned on by

too many unavailable people,

the angel of not enough sleep

and the angel of too much

competitiveness, the angel

of unappreciation and the

angel of pride, the angel

of lost causes and the angel

of perfectionism, the angel

of communism and the angel of

children of ’60s communes,

the angel of deceptive quietness

and the angel of deceptive good

looks, the angel of you can’t

judge a book by its cover and

the angel of too many books,

the angel of rap and the angel

of funk, the angel of Aaron

Copeland and the angel of Elvis

Aaron Presley, the angel of

business enthusiasts and the

angel of Harley self-righteousness,

the angel of civilians and the

angel of the too hip, the angel

of geography and the angel of

pollution, the angel of lesbians

who like to be sexually dominated

now and then by politically

correct men and the angel of

gay male jocks, the angel of

unproduced scripts and the angel

of unknown history, the angel

of once where we all had been

and the angel of never getting

there, the angel of honoring

ones path and the angel of

divine dissatisfaction, the

angel of you and the angel

of me and the angel we run from

when the angel we become is

the unacknowledged star of

our universe and our universe

is changing too fast to grasp

with so little as the love we

forgot we had for all the

lost angels that watch over

us even when we don’t believe—
