to jordan

every morning—the sun nudges me 
and i rub my eyes to greet her 
i stand up and see you 
rolling around on the grass
belonging to people who have become persons 
with other people meaning and possessions
i still look out my childhood bedroom 
at 24
and hope that the new jersey horizon 
swallows me 
because i'll only ever cling to the 
fantasyland and dreamscape 
that is the garden state
