the way back
I imagine it’s simpler than it seems
especially if you don’t have to
think about it for too long
it’s not the first I’ve tried
to make it all the way back
each time punctuated by chance
oh no not this time I would exclaim
hanging out along the shoreline
casting out a couple lines
who in the world would be
calling at this hour I’m inclined to say
suddenly wondering who if anyone
will remember that
february two thousand twenty
