with good reason


in an hour it’s wedding day
and the nerves either haven’t come
or won’t go away
it’s really hard to say

can you develop a tolerance?
to anxiety?

wait
i think it’s there
yes
it must be
stuck in my stomach
scratching at my hair

i’m not
see

does that mean
anything?
is it a hint?
or a rumor?

is it something to see?

wan hsuan said
that some things
you will only know
in time
and that just seems as easy
as you’d want it to be
it’s just so
easy
to know that time
yes
time
that great wounder of all heels
wait
i think i got that one backwards
but it works that way too
  you know
so   yes

where was i?

time

yes

time

well
“time makes lovers feel
like they’ve got something real”

and with good reason
friends

with good reason
