"No One Machine"

by Jeph Johnson

 

I raise my arms
and look around:
"we had it better
than all of them!
-
I had it better
than all of this,
with you!"
-
yes, the entire room...
-
every couple;
one on one,
-
but it ended all too soon
-
"unhitched"
I am called,
"exalted"
-
searching for
excuses:reasons
for you to stay
long after
you've gone away
