it has been too long

[prosy]

only: it has been a long time
taken down, notated, handwritten along right angled answers
(we spoke too soon)

sometimes: it is too much to type
sentences colliding questions
until there are only asterisks left to tell the story

i could tell you a story
of lines along pavement
from here to there(again&again)
pulled like magnets

i could tell you a story
of the smallest words (waiting)

it feels like a happy ending, a fairy tale with fantasy and magic
held tight to--

mapped out stories told too quickly
(we could tell you so much)

these words worn thin, thoughtless
thankful
