I am looking everywhere for you
\nI have checked
\nmy emails,
\nThe answers on Jeopardy,
\nThe since-abandoned Spirit Halloween,
\nThe hotel in which I was yours for the first time,
\nMy best friend’s backyard,
\nIn between my folded towels.
\nYou are nowhere
\nand that’s alarming. <\/p>\n
I am looking everywhere for you
\nI will check
\nThe KFC that used to be an Autozone
\nYour grandmother’s apartment on Google maps
\nThe zen garden you put lines in with a miniature rake,
\nThe chorus of every song I’ve ever known,
\nMy esophagus,
\nmy DVD collection between The Shining and Mamma Mia,
\nSeveral Twitter threads
\nand the restaurant down the street. <\/p>\n
If I haven’t found you in any of those places,
\nI think I will admit,
\nI made you up. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
