there is no reason
for this.
nothing matters. if it were easier to
make things happen, perhaps things would matter
because they would be possible.
they are not.
there are whole countries
where the mention of possibility
evokes laughter.
families stumble on their way home
and cry out: it’s impossible.
the way is long, the night is dark
and we are too small to reach the shore, even if we
hold onto one another.
the man and the woman, the man and the man,
the woman and the woman
are all impossible.
merger defaults to clash.
faces that were kissing
soon strike each other, bruising lips, leaving
cheekbones aching; they begin to turn away.
two people step into a city crowd at the same time.
they never meet, walk parallel
to the same dock, step on and then off the ferry
separately. the next day, one leaps from the ferry
and a cosmos is lost.
the other goes home as calm as a tomb,
knowing nothing of what has passed by him.
this is the way it is: impossible.
we are not equipped to make it happen. ever.
if it happens, once and then rarely again,
it happens in spite of us.
pray for the ability
to witness, take hold,
and hang on.

Well, I want people to put their own “it” into the equation. Love? Security? Meaning? So I deliberately left it open.
“Merger is believed to equal default”…yeah, i’m not sure it woks either. i know what I eman, but it may be too hard to get across. I’m reading it out tonight, I think; that usually shakes it loose.

It starts off a little vague, but I love the third stanza “there are whole countries\where the mention of possibility\evokes laughter.” So true. You illustrate well the disconnect between all people. But I’m not sure I understand “merger is believed to equal default.”

“two people step into the city crowd at the same time.
they never meet, walk parallel
to the same place, step off the ferry and go home
alone. the next day, same time, one
leaps from the ferry and a cosmos is lost.
the other goes home as calm as a tomb,
knowing nothing of the things that have passed by him.”
That stanza very much spoke to me, but the rest was too big for me to wrap my mind around. This moment, however. WHAM.
