I examine-
my legs, shorter than determination,
the changing shapes of my eyes. A length of
hair that I've spilled into dream puddles.
Color I left by the front door, and a
lock that's kept out demons for too long.
But we, I and I
ran down that street together.

I sat once in the freezing meridian of
thunder and rain, believing
that sins could be washed away. That crying when
everything else was wet would make it better. Like
jellyfish soap operas and slow waltzes on the ocean floor.

Curled up on a loveseat, on my own,
thinking of crowded rooms and empty hearts and
why they ever allow lunches where tables hold ten
and I am eleven. And some days I fit into the crowd about as
well as an elephant fits comfortably on
the head of a pin.

Quick, follow me back to airplane rides
and starings over a dark horizon and IwishIwish. Every day
counted when I was away. Home was a time that
lasted until forever. I wanted out, and then I
found words.

Today, I have been
growing hoary by the half-second. And
yet I suspect one of these quick
thoughts or breaths will bring me back
to familiar roads again.

um, okay. try to explain.

title on impulse, last second. i've experienced a floodtide of emotions high and low today, and you know it must be significant if i'm typing my i's in lower case and my poems in upper with no formatting. but i was lonely, as jm says, 'in a crowded room.' well, i was alone, but the world felt like a crowded room. and that was when i started remembering and writing despite the fact that its almost 1 and my hw is nowhere near done and i run on with my sentence to finish off this poem with an ending that does not smack you in the face or heart.

but the poem is honest.
