TIME MACHINE

If I met you again tomorrow

Knowing you,

I would point to the sun and say:

*I drew that for you

see

wrinkled in the rain*.

But would you find me strange?

 

Would you trace love into my palm?

Tug on me to tug on you,

Arms and fingertips, skin and muscles

Made electric elastic between us?

 

Or would you stand…

Blink…

Awkward…ha ha… smile and

Get the hell out of there?

 

Quickly too, on bouncy toes

Leaving poor me

No choice but to chase you down,

Squeeze your shoulders and

Show you the future

In my eyes
