two out of three and
two out of three and
still, there is anxiety –
life, no guarantees

after all these years,
after all these years,
mom and dad still perfects every
recipe with love
and unwavering patience –
two stomachs are better than one

it takes at least two
it takes at least two
memories to create a
working solenoid
through which we become unlocked
at the push of a button

there are a lot of
there are a lot of
things that i don’t
say – like how even
with you, i get
lonely sometimes,
or how i prefer
the loneliness
to making a run
for it – okay,
maybe only one
or two things

to tell the truth, as soon
to tell the truth, as soon
as i have settled into
the wait at the gate,
boarding pass in hand,
homeward bound,
i am split into two –
one in anticipation,
with joy, the other,
already in the future,
sitting at another
gate, heart
untangling the
strings that keep
pulling me
home, taut with
renewed longing –
waiting to be whole

one, no, two, waiting to catch
something way too big

the act of counting
the act of counting
reveals its own
contrasts – two
is closer to
one than three,
and the latter
more well-rounded,
yet does not play
well with others.
two is sometimes
indecisive, and
one appears
often
and lonely

it takes two to not
it takes two to not
look at each other –
one to spin
the yarn, and
one to knit the
illusion, at the
very least, three-
ply, twisted.
it takes two to not
boil the water – one
to turn the burner
on, and one to turn it
right off, two to not
look at each other –
no tea, no stirring
for conversation.
it takes two to stop
breaking down –
one to spin
the yarn, and
one to knit the
illusion, two to not
boil the water, no tears
humming on the
burner, no whistle
screaming for release
