time time time
nothing new
nothing left
ended without delay
so just get ready

more poetry would make people get the meanings,
the beauty,
the weight,
so he says

that damned lightness hovers
and the heaviness bodes
a wanting
a wait
meet and greet

dinner came with stories of strangers
telling stories of strangers
they saw last night

walking into the room with a lit cigarette
boring or not
it is something

return return
away she rode a bike
bringing back an urge
to lay down and die
