I woke up and thanked you.
“The rhythms fell slow,” one of us said.
The other one of us immediately noted the line was not being spoke in the original sense.
Bespoke all over again
I laugh at this to give myself another opportunity to smile up at you.
I had to handle errands.
marginalia: see how easy errand goes errant
but there was nothing to doubt, dear.
I narrated to you.
(I narrate for you)
Even when time’s changes and the earth’s rotations
make it impossible to know where or when you are.
even when you are not there or here,
when you could not know you were there….
unless…but who could be that magical really?
Still,
I know you are
glad
I am.
(any reading thereof)
I hope your feet are warm.
It rained.
It stopped.
It remains grey.
The mountains are obscured by clouds.
You coulda gone weeks without knowing they were there at all

back when our opposable thumbs were still novels
Hey there’s an attractive Japanese couple to my right.
waiting for the light to cross on foot
made me wish I was on foot
they are young compared to us
they laugh and smile and gesture wildly.
Now I’m smiling.
They pretend to be sign twirlers for some surreptitious business or affair,
spinning the invisible boards. dropping it, kicking it back up and catching it on their backs
It’s good panto. I can see it. The invisible they indicate.
I dream they are trying to indicate you to me.
