After 5
The way this works:
I collect you with what’s left of my efficiency
Your roiling energy meets my limp
I have so little to give you.
dinner from a freezer
a quickstep through homework
a handful of pennies
perhaps a bath
I bought the shampoo with you in mind,
tangerine
to match your sunny sweetness
like a high wattage bulb, you keep the lights on in here
in this space, between the old life and our future,
we are building
a monument with scheduled blocks of time
to continually remind me who we could be.
