I keep seeing people I think I know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I can’t catalog the awkwardness of the moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That slight pause:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did we part on good terms all those years ago?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can’t remember everything I said to them<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or them to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is there an unresolved comment,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A pebble in the shoe of time<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That memory has enlarged?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or was there an offered sweetness<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That may need an answer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That hesitation<\/p>\n\n\n\n
–split seconds of time\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I am frozenly undecided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I will likely see them again<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If it’s who I think it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I’ll pull out the journals,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sort the emails,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Look for letters,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And be prepared next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or possibly not:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have a lot of journals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
