The ticking of the clock intrudes
upon the laughter -
a reminder.
Everything is temporary.
I savor the last moments.
The lullaby of voices, familiar and friendly
like the warmth of a home
I can't go back to again.
I return with regret to long silences,
strangers faces
and counting pennies
for a few moments of talking with you.
1987
