Has reading between the lines helped? . . .
What about the blank page? . . .
Is it the intimate interiority
of a different life floating in
at all hours . . . covered with snow
that keeps you young, yes? . . .
keeps you moving across
the mind's moors . . . visiting
metaphysical what-ifs, haystacks,
brick-and-mortar clock towers
the inevitability of the postponed
as you try to fit into place
the last piece of the puzzle . . .
The dropdown menu of possible endings . . .
The wherewithal coming into view . . .
