picking nightberries. thinking about this whatever-film i've watched some time ago., there was this thoughtstream: it wasn't so hard to cross that street after all... it all depends on who's waiting for you on the other side. back then i found it beautiful. now - cowardly. if you leave, leave a person. only not leave for a person. it's just an easy, secure exchange. not any choice, just opportunism.
i have changed the numbers on my watch,
and now perhaps something else will change.
now perhaps
at precisely 2a.m.
you will not get up
and gathering your things together
go forever.
perhaps now you will find it is
far too early to go,
or far too late,
and stay forever
