Two Blocks From Here

Two Blocks From Here

On that October night he waited.
He waited in his car till she and her new lover came home.
He had thought of this moment.
He had been thinking of this moment.
He had been dreaming of this moment.
He knew this moment by heart.
This is the moment that everything had been leading up to.
She was the mother of his baby.
This new guy was not a real man.
This new guy will piss in his pants
when he sees the old boyfriend.
He will run when he sees the knife.
She will know that he is not a man.
She will return to her old boy friend.
This is the dream....the moment he knows by heart.

Now he jumps out of his car and yells at them.
They turn around and look at him.
She yells something.
The man of the dreams runs at the man who will piss in his pants.
She jumps between them.
And the knife of the dreams catches her in her heart.

This is the part of the dream
that maybe he did not dream
or maybe it is that part of the dream
that he would always change
or maybe it is that part of the dream
that went to someone else.
But this is that part of the dream
that happened two blocks from here.
