Time Slowing Down
In what might be
last days
everything is present
INSTANT
suspended, curious
Super-blue
sky and choose
Sandia Crest, pulling moon
ant-crawl, wind-lift sun and shade
splash of semi-rain,
horn-blare highway with bus-step bike
eyes at 7-11, eyes passing aisle,
eyes on bus, eyes inside
a teal purse, hanging open
cell phone-tissue-candy,
tomorrow-list
confidence of connection, of
flattened vodka curio
trash can party-place, these
flattened objects, objects acquired, flattened
plastic, wire and sand
the great deluge of beautiful nerds
the great deluge of words and heard
the ceremony of bottle shards, glass-blanket mass
form and fuckery, postmodern plush
window-crack
dance-back doorway
doorstop webs and corner sheds--
car at corner, loud Bruno Mars
mars, mars of seven stars
This here, now,
hot-blast wind
streetlight hits
rock, trim.
If we only had a little more time.
Do you remember the time you
and the times we stood and
or walked, then
whispered and
touched or
turned to
