joust to the
we think it's Fate conspiring
Zapruder film—
from a doomed ship
from a doomed ship
with too few rafts
to the madeleines of Proust:
we think it's Fate conspiring
with our truths
to make such songs—
we assume we're
inspired—but what
are the odds
it's been you
it's been you
and me all along breathing
out the gods?
