Laughing and knowing

— I get the feeling we’re running of time.
She says
I open my eyes
To her looking away
– What do you mean?
And she laughs
— I hardly know myself.
So I respond
– I hardly know you.
— That’s not what I meant.
– I know.
She turns to face me
— Don’t you feel like we’re running out of time?
I blink
She waits
Inhale
– I’m out of time.
She opens her mouth
Closes it
– I’ve been out of time for a very very long time.
— What do you mean?
I look up at the ceiling
– I know what I mean.
She reaches out and touches my face
– I know what I mean.
