It’s abrupt and absurd
the way I try to quickly
introduce myself to people
whom I don’t know at the
moment yet want to know
in the future. Perhaps it’s
intoxicating on some level
to the stranger; often,
certainly, it is an exit
interview. I don’t
want to remain like
this: almost gone.
The tarred rooftops
work like magnets
to my exhausted
eyeballs, soak
in the warm
winter sun.
