To Nico















Passing by Sherman's crate this morning, I noticed something unfamiliar. At first I thought that it was a new toy but, upon further inspection, I discovered that the object that had caught my eye was actually a small notebook. Thumbing through the worn pages, I found--amidst some mindless doodling and sketches of tennis balls--this poem...

Nico

At the park, I brace for your attack

Oh, to love you as I lie on my back

Your cool blue eyes

Remind me of an Alaskan sunrise.

Even when you're remote,

I feel your teeth against my throat.
