we are all at once
secure and insecure
about the space
between us –
with no agreed upon
unit of measurement,
we have to
negotiate every
vibration, adapt
to each curve,
swallow words
in different
combinations and feel
the push and pull
of acceleration
with a new gravity

in the middle of
the night, the mind runs
errands the body
pretends to know
nothing about,
reshuffles everything

so that there are
new hands to play
by morning, with
over two-point-five
million possibilities
hidden beneath
our poker faces

divine than
shrimp with
cocktail sauce,
curry mango,
andouille

we rely on loose
combinations to unlock
a simple morning
