the space between

and these days, these days

they accumulate, gather, and fall behind me, we, us.

they say:

“these are the days”

they. they say.

and this one.

this one child looks at me    like

like.I.don’t.know. 

Like.I.don’t.get.it.

with only this child

the divide between

this gap,

this space between

is like oceans between

grand, grand canyons of misunderstandings seperate

us.

the weight of the world

 I carry

does not even compare

to this.
