commonality
I seem to keep missing you
one turn after the next
all the while telling myself I’m not
looking for anything in particular
it is summer but you know that
the solstice a mere hours away
I’ve long since ventured out
chasing shadows on the open road
it’s true the earth keeps spinning
unchanged yet ever-changing
dividing & distancing & reuniting
common people like you & me
june two thousand twenty
