if we were in a movie,
this would be the part where I look into
your eyes and make a demand:
"don't just stand there, say something."
but you give me a sorry look
take my hand
and tell me
"if things had been different..."
but they aren't.
they are the same.
TAKE FIVE.
lights go off, cameras aren't rolling
cellphones are ringing
where have we gone?
