A Found Poem
You leant forward as I was explaining
1729, mad geniuses and, and before I could
expound any further you leant forward.
I fell, the falling was and is definate.
There are lines we drew, I said I won't
and you said you will not.
But the first snow of the winter that
was falling was the metaphor.
We drifted around the edges like snowflakes
in glass and kitchen. And all around milling
people my eyes sought you, the adjacent edge
the country whose border I later was to erase
to become whole by leaning over, leaning into.
But you leant forward, the flakes melted
into a crystal, mingled and couldn't be stopped.
And if these is anyone to blame for all this.
its you for leaning forward
as I was cubing integers
forcing me build a cube around
me and you.
And you repeat that again by leaning forward.
