its a blister bandaid sock combination
its the yesterday tomorrow combination
its the dried up and fresh lawn
its the untied knot and TV combination
its remembering the rainbow trout and forgetting every birthday you were ever told
its the roads that never touched but ran parallel through three cities
they shared the same median for many miles
we walked in the middle of it
our legs tired into the earth
rocks rust rush
we saw the moving forward and looking back combination
the coffee and 7 pm combination
    call dad
    figure out situation
    mint new keys
    pack clothes in the wicker basket
now that I know I'm leaving I savor every day like a coughdrop
it's not too cold and it's not too warm
the song that played was 666 so I turned my phone upside down
traded it for a pen
humbled me with a piece
the one that has a map yet knows no future combination
