audience – cue the smoke machine

the first of september
passes almost without
a sound, but
for the roar of
cicadas from
outside my
bedroom window,
handing off each
second, as if it were
the leader of the band

in concert or in
in concert or in
space, time loses
friction – minutes
no longer rub

the last time i dressed
the last time i dressed
up for you, we were
twenty-two
and unsure
of where we stood
with one another.

the piano on
stage, and, in the
dark, your
hand drifted

symphony.

could we

these earplugs that have
been with me since day
twenty-three are now

business of protecting
my eardrums in

cause some kind
of alert, force
the perpetrator
to get back
out of the line
of sight for the waves
of fans who have long
adjusted themselves
accordingly. seriously,
it’s a small recommendation

their best selves when in

who just
dances
