DITTO

We say: "I get
the feeling," 

as if that feeling
pre-existed.

But even our most intimate,
and antique experiences,

when recollected, 
are nothing 

if not
counterfeit heirlooms—

ersatz treatises, 
newly minted. So, 

either, to god's eye,
there's no such thing 

as proper order, 
or else—come to think of it, 

probably 
it did.
