about your question
you see the answer has just taken off
en route to panama, seated between
other questions of shimmering nonsense.
destined to where the oceans almost meet.

it's not that easy, you say
while our eyes are on the elephant in the room
a twenty-six year old french woman
with short dark hair like beautiful rain
who speaks her "s" soft like a "c",
you see?

stop looking for words between words
doors in hallways that we want to leave.
always smile in your underwear.

we can't all be happy when we sing
and in my arms, when she sings
it sounds so bitter
like dying flowers of death
coming home
would be so sad if home
didn't smile back at me.

so you see
about your question
ask for it all back.
