An Articulation of the Hopeful

push mind
through time
for several weeks.
see what? say

“say i love you,”
but one time too
many. stop. stop.
full stop. full—stoop.

say “i do,”
but once.
don’t think
about tomorrow

evening yesterday.
everything combined
equals the weight of the
world. pick me up at

the airport
with a kiss
on the lips.
having been

warned that there’ll be
tongue: airport kisses
are a tango that—
what a

goofy
couple
—get all
tanged up,

entangled.
fly to the moon
for the bungle.
a twin-bundle of joy

that after take-off
does not disembark,
never once
disentangles.
