Too Course

Jandek


I’m sorry I must have appeared too coarse 
And unrefined 
I must have seemed like an animal 
And a clumsy one too 
But you had some endurance and so did I 
The first time I saw you three years ago 
I walked over to you and stood as close as I could 
Without being overly obvious 
You picked up on it and quickly swung my way 
Your eyes said hello to me 
And a whole lot of things came out of you 
Don’t you think we should get to know each other 
I never had time before 
But now I look at time like nothing that ever stops 
How did you find me 
You acted up on me long before I was conscious of you 
I had decided to only respond the way I want 
Too many times 
Sometimes I don’t open the door 
Too many times, but I look out the window 
Maybe I’ll see you there 
I either know too much or not enough to answer that question
