across the border,
across the border,
at the edge of ohio,
for a solid hour,
i wait for sunrise, only
to be greeted by morning haze

someone decided
someone decided
that fig trees should
provide two
crops each year,
marking
the beginning
and the beginning
of the end of
summer, lest anyone
returns home too

6:53 a.m., an early
6:53 a.m., an early
bird attempts to break up
the droning of cicadas,
poking small holes into
morning’s purposeless
play –
6:57 a.m., the school

you are slightly late,
i am slightly early –
somewhere
on a floor just
above us, over
the hum of two
fluorescent bulbs,
someone is plotting
these data points
across multiple
axes, sipping the last
of Tuesday’s
coffee, closing the
folder on why
we never meet –
the sudden draft
is mesmerizing

monday morning, Dad
took me to see The Great Fish
in all his splendor
we were early, only a
handful of cares in the world

in the early
in the early
stages of
dismissal, we
covet our
bruises like
badges – no rubbing
alcohol
here – secretly
trading one
affirming
weakness
for another
