I don't know how he met her

but I know
he must be
lonely enough
to spend
his time
his money
and energy
text messages
cellular data
gas
miles
beer
mezcal
Los Angeles
department
of water and
power
on someone
who attended
a poetry reading
in which
I read a poem
in front of him
in front of her
about how much
I loved being
in front of him
