you have all the
right words to say 
you listen in
an empathetic way

deep in you 
i can see the space
for a lovely, welcoming 
garden, eager to spring

there and then
i knew you were 
a statistical minority 
a theoretical anomaly

for one such as you 
warm, i have 
never seen
never anticipated

you truly are
(i wish i had
the words 
to describe you). 









cheesy.
