it takes skills to pick

it takes skills to pick

on the old time machine, claiming
to have broken the high score

line by line, curve by

because we have become

because we have become
one another’s best

love, loss, and pain,

birds all at once
silenced, at attention,
except the eastern
towhee, still trying
to steal you away
from home after
all these years
