The Male A.S. 1990

The Male A.S. 1990

by James Landrith

I’m not that person
that person you’ve mistaken me for

Perhaps I resemble him
funny though, ‘cuz I have no belief in him

never met him
nor noticed his presence before

yet you see him when you see me
you could be sick, unsure of your surroundings

yet you say you love me, when you see him

I wish to meet this man you love so.
you said you hold him every night.

You are mistaken, for it is me
you hold each night.
“I know,” you said.
“I know.”
