There are Phases to These Things (poem)

Like

seasons or times of death,

every day

we lose our virginities

in new and interesting ways:

Smile. Jog. Cough. Sputter.

Every night, we die, every minute

we change,

you and I,

into something

nostalgic, like,

remember how it was

five minutes ago?

We shrug. We titter.

We say no -- no

we don’t remember.

We roll our shoulders back.

It’s just a phase

of the moon

after all.

It’s the sun

beamed at a body

in space.

The same difference

is all relative, at least

for whatever day’s today.
