An Ode to Dawson’s Creek

I’m recently obsessed
With Dawson’s Creek reruns
It’s the sorted details
The complication
The twisted love triangle
Pacey and Joey and Dawson
Pacey falls
Dawson discovers truth
Joey stews in indecision
Forever dividing
Creating an un-mendable fence
Capeside in upheaval
Best friends no more
The new couple
Sailing away into the summer

Which reminds me

I’m recently obsessed
With my own undoing’s
That have left me undone
Sorted
Complicated
The twisted love triangle
Body and Mind and Soul
The body bleeds
The mind defines
And the soul seeks meaning
They blend
And break
And dance
Tripping and falling
I fight logic with words
I fight desire with lies
I cannot fight love
Thus
I am defeated
Stewing in indecision
Divided
What once was a painless scrape
Has become infected
Gaping
Torn open
Torturous
My heart and mind in upheaval
I sit in solitude
Seeking Dawson’s Creek reruns
So I am reminded
Art imitates life
or
Life imitates art
or
Art allows you to escape
or
Life teaches you to lie
Yet we still seek truth
Even if it is derivative of fiction
And imagination
