Stand on a bridge with a sign.
If you can’t do that, honk.
Driving around in a circle.
Decide what you can live without.
Give it up. Before you forget.
What it is.
Stop in your tracks.
Don’t be so surprised.
Find the right verb
inside your heart.
Sleep by the border.
Carry enough money.
To bail yourself out.
Dream in translation.
Forego any list.
Without your name.
Remember the world
as it was.
It is. Write this
letter. To the editor.
Sign it. Before you forget.
The water under
the bridge. Its river
of signs.
Floating there.
