WE WISH

School of Minnows Painting by My Linh O Quinn

We are incomplete nature—

we belong to the sperm, not the fish.

A minnow only needs to grow.

We need to wish.

We can wish palpably;

I don’t need poetry

to imagine myself seeking love from you.

Readers of books are inferior

to those who don’t need to read them.

We have trouble admitting this is true.

I put things in the letter

only because I couldn’t come over and do it for you.

Now that I’m gone, you might as well read

what today I will never be able to do.
