Then suddenly they resurface
and you wonder the nuance.
Or, maybe you don’t.
Or, maybe you look to make sure what?
That your shoes are on the right feet?
That your iPad is loaded?
We’re all expendable
at least as far as the elements are concerned.
Or the elementals.
And wouldn’t it be interesting
if on a given day
the DVDs you’ve been religiously stacking
and paying homage to
displayed identical images?
Your past lovers assemble
in the town square
and coalesce into the one you await
or will await
or awaited
or whatever
assuming of course you are the self you claim -
the one he/she told you would arrive
when you least expected it.
