FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

now his address
is a far away place
unknown to the
city

when he writes a
letter
it is returned

he keeps all his
letters
for him to read
again

he simply wants
to be remembered
for being rejected

until the pain becomes
too familiar
until he becomes numb

numbness is not of course
happiness
but too, it is definitely
not sadness

at this point rejection too
is no longer rejection

it becomes a word
and it means just like
any word for that matter

in the lexicon.
