after work, at robin's
with steven where he
was packing for his
trip back north to
fight forest fires in
alberta, we got to
talking about time,
how it could be a
spiral where even
seemingly distant
moments might be
adjacent to each
other if only we
could see things
nonlinearly. picture
a phonograph needle
skating straight
across a record.
how would that sound?
the way i feel, probably.

last night i dreamt of an
AWAC plane buffeted
by wind. today, looking up,
i saw one (not this plane)
on approach to somewhere.

first time in years that i saw
one, deja vu all over again.
