    XO

    XO...Hugs and Kisses
    He actually posted that at the bottom of a break up later.
    I hardly recalled anybody who ever did that.
    I stared at the screen, eyes dry and itchy
    Staring at the white background that reminded me of how white my life was
    Bland, blank
    Tiny lines of black ink that reminded humanity that i was still here.
    XO..

    Who the hell does that

    I stared the symbol that was suppose to represent love
    Hugs and Kisses
    Life's negatives and its positives
    Quiting and keep going
    Denial and Acceptance
    XO...

    Reminded me of a face

    X to remind me of its eyes
    Closed
    O for the mouth
    Screaming
    XO...

    I could just hear him typing this letter
    The patter of the key board beating against his eager finger tips
    Stomping sounds
    Like little feet beating down my will to accept

    Closing my O

    I glided my mouse across the white screen
    Click on the X
    At the top corner of my box

    Just another X
    Searching for an O

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
