2.

2.

We backed into the lake. Noon, kids, drunk with seeming.
And here we are again, alphabet at the top of the blackboard,
a broken clock too high to erase. Primroses, evensong. 
The dubious empire of being awake.

A man was yelling across the street: haven’t you learned to build yet?

You’re so far away. I do little things. I build and build who knows what.
What are we always building? But you’re coming. 
I build. You’re coming. You’re always coming.
