A Poem for September


Questions of Time and Distance

How far is it
between you and me?
Does undressing
bring us any closer?

If we drive east
for three days at the speed
of light, will we die yesterday?
Will we be born tomorrow?

When are you coming?
Where are we going?
How will I know
when we get there?

Will you always be here
to watch the clock with me?
Or will I be far away
waking up the next day?
