I’m driving 80 past the exit sign for Erie.
You’re sleeping adequately, insufficient, wearily.
I feel an intimately inter-person alchemy.
My brain is ectoplasm endlessly becoming,
undoing square knots tied by Cub Scouts toiling ceaselessly.
You’re sitting on the couch. I’m watching you. You’re watching me.
Fall down and sit right where you fell. Don’t bother getting up.
It’s fine. I mean, I vacuumed before.
I dreamed about this just a week ago, it felt so real:
just you and me alone on the floor.
I was sure.
We’re hauling couches up the stairs to our apartment.
I’m sweating in the plush and losing grip on consciousness.
I’m looking up at you. You’re staring down expectantly.
Your shattered marble brain explodes my sense of meaning,
my entropic tendency to quickly tire of everything.
We’re sitting on the porch. We’re watching cars. It’s 12 degrees.
Sometimes I wake up with a feeling I can’t name.
I swear I saw it somewhere deep in my sleep.
I read about it in an article online that said
“for answers, learn some symbology.”
You’re staring at me from across the room. I don’t know what you mean.
I feel both nervous and glee.
I’ve seen you everyday for years and still I’m mapping out
your one-way streets and intricacies.
Fine by me.
Stay with me,
permeating.

I will pick you up
as long as I can lift your weight.
You can fall asleep
if you'd just stay the same,
but I'll be here when you wake,
AJ.
You are all the love
that your mother gave.
Your father isn't gone.
He's in your face.
Don't cry. You're okay.
You'll get so old someday,
AJ.
