Within the restlessness she found space
to switch her keys from one hand to the next.
Her hat doused in rain,
she walks the longest route through sidewalk lakes.
Her one hand continues to chase her keys
when her other hand pushes them away.
80% of stairwells climb up,
and 10% of all rain removed by the 5th step.
A change in breath.
A clearing of the throat.
An unhesitant knock.
Between his spurts of laughter, and puddles of questions,
his, and yes, I knew him well.
Escape formed along her spine
within the curve of her shoulders.
A slender wave unseen beneath full light she crosses her wrists
to readjust her watch; slightly wet still from her earlier walk.
She reaches below her knees next, her hat repositioned down,
smells of 6 O’clock.
She leans back towards him, keys in hand,
and once she laughs, also.

There is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous
