Actors, athletes, and astronauts, their names roll off the tongue. I should have been an actor, athlete, or astronaut all rolled into one. Employ the Strasberg Method, dance a touchdown dance on the moon. Retirement party, so this is my retirement party. Smile, nod and smile, shake hands or half hug, stare unfocused at brief salutations and card signatures. Plastic silverware and plastic plans to stop by someday and resume what we never had. Goodbye to the window I stared out wondering what ever happened. I never meant to stay here this long, but the days slipped on and on. Painters, poets, and politicians, their names roll off the tongue. I should have been a painter, poet, and politician, all wrapped into to one. Every broad brush stroke an allegory for campaign speak to party donors. Every canvas a stanza, every stanza a canvassing.

Across the lighting water, we wade and wait. Lined up like cannon fodder, we wade and wait. The strike feels the same, but not drowning in the ocean vs. the lake. One sting, follows you like a fighting dog when you’re bleeding out. And there is no such thing as far enough away. Trace your finger around the shape of escape. Can’t ask where not to be found, the answer gives it away.
3.
Drive away with a box of odds and ends, Odds and ends and endings, belted tight in the passenger seat. The keys to everywhere you left ring against each other’s necks And the sound keeps you up all night. No shortcuts in cutting new keys. Shine the light. The odds, odds and ends and endings. Old homes return as new homes and the radio will speak in voices I know. It competes with the engine rattling dust from our old street. It competes with stifled sighs of relief. You can’t write with your hands on the wheel, so the words just disappear.
