I have learned, now,
the best way to find
is without seeking, as,
     most often,

I have merely
laid to hand, in some place
I was sure I would remember.

the watch, I found in a coat pocket
the bill, tucked into the book I
     had been reading

lately, I half expect to discover
     you, doing the laundry
or in the furnace room,
     waiting,
next to the tool bench
