here we are, feeling
foreign again –
the door you
can breeze
through is closed

walking through
a doorway makes
one forget. i’m
not expecting you
to remember,
to buck science

don’t give them a second glance

because i bent this
far this morning, i

just a little
towards me,
and allow the
weight of
everything else
to carry you
all the way

to meet again and again,
invent new ways to take off

to be ready

ready for
the unexpected

time comes for those

time comes for those
who least expect it,
or else,
too many
minutes get lost
