12:35

Going on a Ginsberg binge, you thought,

laughing to yourself in the boxcar coming

home with a ubiquitous need for rum

and nicotine stained sheets.

 A vagabond looks,

always, you utter,

for contained patterns in nature.

And like the beginning

of a Fibonacci code,

your train pulls in

at 12:35. Just in time

for you to finish smearing

a message in your own

breath on the window, saying

how your head feels waterlogged

nowadays. You step off the platform

and continue on, flinching

as you regain footing

to chase after

a backwards moving dream.
