lingering like dew before sunrise?

flashes and waves
hours and days
run together (now)
as often as they run
apart. i dreamed
last night of a life

softly. it was no
different than this one,
except that it wasn't.

2 plays
2 days
2 dinners
5 diners
we push food around
until, magically, our bellies
are full and palates dry
time dilates
plates are cleared

an onymous freeway exit
numb.er 32
appears prophetic
on a Saturday afternoon
drive to Miami

trauma yields repetition yields trauma yieldsrepetitionyields 
change

we do not turn
but it lingers:
numb.er 32
appears, prophetic

set adrift on memory

stolen songs from childhood
