square one

square one


when the only two people
left who don't look
the same to each other

drifting aimlessly
into the future

FINALLY

meet across a Continental Breakfast

Square dancing for a Romper Room

you know, only sorta
keeping things together

and domesticity falls in your gut
like a flaky pie crust/


/Square dancing
and back to SQUARE ONE

among the mutant monkey residue

OH desktop
keyboard haunted by a stranger's fingers
in your favorite cubicle

how do i get out of here?

Hallow-ed-(Bet)we'en

another junktion on the journey
passed again on the way around and we SEE

old but unforgotten faces of our pasts
reminding us of where EACH of us has been again

on this All HowLow's Eve


History eats the wounded and dead we leave BEHIND.

unless the lessons of this THING we each have

BEEN LIVING

remains inside the imagination left

inside every one of us
