- I used to have time and now time has me
- these things happen though not everybody needs something
- while the ice does get thinner beyond the archive
- pleasure remaining the shadow as always it is
- convincing myself there is somewhere worth going to
- so much hanging on the clothesline of the word worth
- and thereafter the importance of the open door
- at the same time nothing much to hurry toward
- while adapting to the direction of hurrying
- knowing in advance at some point it’s all finished
- the past transmitted as memory or is it remembering
- having given up knowing what the different days should feel like
- catching light from an extinguished star
- hoping to deny the drudgery of usefulness
- to put it simply have you been waiting long being each other all along
- are you from somewhere around here by any chance nearby
- or are you still exploring the meaning of nearby
- maybe you don’t remember exactly or exactly remember
- going deeply into the difference between to know and to remember
- go ahead find out who you are or at least were yesterday
- actually I’m tired go on home we’ll meet later
- which bout is this all about what shall we find out now that we are out and about
- how many years do we have left anyway
- I’m counting on you or you can count on me
- tender is the night I just got the meaning after a lifetime of waiting
