One Stop
“I’m going to write what I know.”
“I’ve been away too long.”
“Why did you think I wouldn’t meet you?” AH
Is there any other option?
Yes.
The distance.
“One stop.” Between the locations? Or does it mean death? Or does it mean an end of a thing? It is an offer to relieve the sitting in planes?
Not a direction, to the unwelcomed. That would be: One, stop.
To see you now inside a specific, round place. A perhaps leftover place. It held water, or something else.
It holds you, imagination, perhaps from your history.
Moving around in imagined fluid.
Resting near a cast, round place.
Thinking of others.
Replaying thoughts of others.
Name dropping.
Writing what I know. Not writing what it knows.
( ) didn’t think you wouldn’t meet me.
( ) am holding myself together post the wreckage.
A wreckage honesty makes.
