                                              sitting puts you in transition
                                              with little notice and less place

                                              reading between the books
                                              falling short of the ‘faves’
                                              with a whiff of nostalgia
                                              for a quick shot of maybe
                                              cut loose and drifting
                                              have I made a mistake

                                              but free – if I can ride it –
                                              to see how the light
                                              through net curtains wafting
                                              long by the window is
                                              powder blue across the
                                              furniture wood of
                                              childhood

                                              as long as I remember
                                              not to stay there too long
                                              and embrace the stranger
                                              I have become to myselves
                                              and their life for all of my lives
