And so said, and so you said
I want to go
with you, without you.
I only wanted for to see
the spectral light.
So lucked out,
so catching,
so dwelled.
∗
When one of us goes missing
so missiles,
so signals out
into the arena.
And then what us,
only one us,
what if it is the wrong us.
∗
Instead of radio signals
we send cablegrams
that say
such physical ailment
such taking care of children
on top of all that
so temporary
so falsehood
so sweetened heirloom.
∗
So we inhabit one station.
Click closed,
so one wall says
to the other
so grid,
so hereafter.
We open one inch
so becoming reunited,
so chrome
so this arrow, frozen.
∗
So lost, we sleep.
So the house is clean.
So what we choose
is what is chosen
always
and so it is
until we, deafened,
sleep.
David S. MacLean
