This window over there.


...
We open it together
from time to time
to watch the view
but there is no kitchen
or living room,
or bedroom
behind it -
just a shrine that some call bed.
We come and go,
but even when coming
we are leaving.
Disclaimer.
We need a door
and tiles
and toys
and spoons
and forks
We need a washing machine
and a ringing telephone
to have a window.
Windows come with walls.

Now look how painfully homeless this window is.

Time travel.

...


Ten years ago, I will be
And in a few years ahead, I was
(Fill in the blanks.)
If only time was
just a bamboo basket
full of blood oranges
or even just a pale green washcloth
No big deal
No crying over cartoon characters
The only past
and future tenses
that exist
are present simple
and present continuous
No big deal
No crying over cartoon characters

See this red button
with the word un-death written on it?
Of course you don't.
