Half a Dollar Ago

Years ago, I put 50 cents in the machine, pulled the handle and with a boom at the bottom of a sheet metal tray out came a fresh pack of Marlboro cigarettes.

It felt good, but then so did the hope to find someone who found my young self, desirous - someone who would want to lustfully tangle their arms around me.

It's been a very long time, since I smoked a cigarette.

If I could run everything backwards
adding up each upside-down page
it wouldn't be the unfolding of my life
and never the same or nearly as good.
So it isn't really the summing of the parts
or even every bad thing ever unleashed
but is purely the direction we are carried.
If I looked for parts of you that were imperfect
and made careful castings of your heart
for all the hungry shoppers with blue light eyes
I would blind myself to hurt you deeply with it
And, If I never allowed hurt to be without anger
(or even with no apparent sign of reason)
I'd simply be an angry person.

Spend more time looking into nooks and sliding yourself into crannies. Think harder about hearing the air in your ears when sound isn't waving it. Imagine each point of contact between your soles and the carpeted floor.

Do you remember standing outside when it was snowing? It was the biggest, pillowiest, most voluptuous lack

I wonder if I've overstayed my welcome a little. I must be an after-hours customer by now. Thinking about checking out my items...

You are in fingertips wrinkled by water
but how is that so?

You travel in places I've walked
and more by letting go.

How can one miss somewhere they've never been
yet believe they know?
