i 

  know 

       you

don't really know

  my 

      name



i know you've stared at the back of my head for years,
wondering how someone can be a handful away
from tears every single day


i know 

     you've thought i was 

            stalking

          you



i know you think we show up at the same spots
at the same time because i have nothing better
to do than to follow                                               you



i know you think i'm too old to wear short skirts
and too old to know the difference between 
a blowjob done right and a stripper done wrong


you likely don't remember
                     i used to be like that
i used to wear things for your amusement
you likely have forgotten
                     her face resembles an ape
        and i mean that literally


i think you became pissed off because i couldn't turn around

i wouldn't



i think

      you felt we had

    more of 

a connection than

                                             we ever did



you're way out in left field every day, baby
and i'm here guarding the plate


you made me the catcher, baby
and i don't even know how
                       to catch.
