Mr. In-Between

Kathy Moffet

Before there was Jon
Doctor Jon to be
the heart specialist
who specialized
in the breaking
not the fixing
of hearts like mine.
And after 
Cameron
who made student films
about lady-killers
and the ladies who lost him
clichéd affairs for violins
and suffering souls like mine.
Before and after
there was you
Mr. In-Between.
You have been kind
you have been understanding
I have been blind
and Jon and Cameron notwithstanding
I think I've missed a bet
that I would like to place again
if you'd be so kind
as to forget where I have been
and reconsider where I might be going
if Mr. In-Between 
could find the time to do the showing.
