I walk around them in silence, those who say

that making ourselves ready for judgment day

is the one reason we’re here, and those who insist

that we’re no more than water with a twist.

Sometimes they take my arm.  I tell them, “Okay,

that make sense to me,” and move away.

Clearly there’s something somewhere that I’ve missed.

Somehow we probably do and don’t exist,

but all the finer subtleties fell to the floor

the night you opened the window and closed the door

and nearly smiled, but not with the lips I kissed.
