union

someone stumbles

in my town

every 27 minutes



sometimes it's me



i want to slide my hand

through the sleeve of your shirt

and tickle your collar bone



on view street this morning

i gave the cat some insulin

the air was moist with forest juice



i have lunch from the new chinese restaurant



i'm dehydrated at the union depot

a woman is breast feeding her child

across from me



there have been countless videos

made of this station



people come in

with cookies and compliments

to say goodbye

they will miss me



i see so little before me

but the memory of the times

you have visited me



smiling across the counter

leaning to me for a kiss



pulling into the station

like pleasure

in a caboose
