Those words
echo loneliest
which separate us most
from what we
unfailingly
refer to as
"the world."
*
To be where the action is
means to stay
the course;
that is, there is really
nowhere
I am going with this—
the future
is that harbor
where the ship cannot
exist.
*
Yes
I would settle
for a vicarious happiness
if only
I could be sure
that yours wasn't
plausibly
more than a little
obligatory
deficient
coerced.
