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
