Who
wants me? I am no one. Your dream. It's me you've always desired.
When morning calls your name, it's my eyes you see looking at you
from the wall across the street--ice, bitter herbs, delay of centuries.
I am the water stale in the bottle, I quench your thirst. I am forgotten,
the first grade classmate you haven't thought of in thirty-three years
and then one day suddenly remember, and you don't understand why--and
where am I now, and where are we going?
