Years before I knew you
I was walking down Rue de Rivoli and I saw
those green and silver
snake print trainers
and I had to
have them
And years later, still
before I knew you, I had to let them go
because I went to
another place and drank in a bar called Freedom and my bag was
already filled with other things

and thinking about what
time is and decisions of memory
and a continuum of
missing something or someone

and I see the power of
time and being that is living inside myself and I laugh that I was
mourning the sudden limitation to my newly stepped identity because
