things i think i might know:
and now it seems so long ago, the times i thought i’d die if you weren’t close,
like the spring rain yesterday you couldn't anticipate
(it caught you in your sandals.)
but it’s only my head contracting, and
i know for sure the universe is only
e x p a n d i n g-
at least,
that’s what they tell me,
talking in rooms so full of air conditioning i can barely stand it.
