after a
after a
packed train
pulls away
from a
crowded
subway platform,
those morning commuters
who are left behind to
wait for the
next

conductor-
less, tuned
out
and into
the digital
music of their
lives, primed for
the next set of
train doors to
open right
in front of
them

in a constant
state of striving
for equilibrium

to manage and hold
to manage and hold
simplicity, the universe
maps out new
configurations of
gears that must
turn with elegant
precision.
whether taking on
the city, the woods, or
each other, we do
the same thing –
listen intently
for only one
another’s clicks

of the city i
have shared with
you, there are
innumerable parts
still hidden in
half-light –

the mysteries
we were meant
to solve together
