sometimes quietly
those tempered jealousies still tantrum, i’ve already learned since the day before the day before

the before and the after
the now, the unknown, the un-now
not now not known
not now not known
squeeze it out
sound me out
(say some thing)
i can’t pretend to know, predict to now distend from now
i can’t pretend to know
sometimes quietly
i take flight at the sight of a past
at the sound of a flash i blast off and in through the mirrorback
come back to me back off react reaxion relax relapse reask
at the light of your flash i will smile big as small
the evidence rests, rolls around, turns

squeeze in squeeze on
freshly cut lawn
how much of ourselves can we share
like a contest, like an experiment, like an adventure in bodies
how much of ourselves can we keep
intact
dance with 4 left feet
shake with 2 left hands
sometimes quietly
i thank something big
for the conic inevitability of this moment
and squeeze you
like a sponge
