Crowds and noise; I wasn’t sure we’d make it. Clutched the kid’s hand tight; held onto the case. Dan hurried behind with the trunk.
It’s like the dock was a waterfall. No turning away. Then Ted dropped his teddy, slipped free; Dan and I hurried after.
Titanic sailed without us

Time
A moment
A minute
An hour
A longing for
Waiting for
Hoping for
Power
To stop time
Rock time
Mock time
Long time
Strong time
Shrinking time
Sinking time
Second time
A whisper
A whimper
A gasp
Eternity
Grasped
In the push
In the pause
In the laws’
Life-time
A moment
A minute
An hour
A longing for
Waiting for
Hoping for
Power
To stop time
Rock time
Mock time
Long time
Strong time
Shrinking time
Sinking time
Second time
A whisper
A whimper
A gasp
Eternity
Grasped
In the push
In the pause
In the laws’
Life-time

Did you
laugh?
You thought
it strange perhaps
That pigs
should fly?
Did you cry?
You thought
it sad perhaps
That piglets
die?
Did you eat?
It tasted
perfectly
Salt on the
tongue.
And then you
laughed
Dear
vegetarian
While we
spent long
Long hours
where
Nobody's meant to laugh.
Nobody's meant to laugh.

There was a
time I ran upstairs
On silent
feet and nobody was there;
Looked in
the mirror
Not even me.
I imagined
you’d be happier if I’d go.
There was a
time you ran around
On silent
feet I couldn’t find you
But I’ll
stay.
I'll stay for you.

We leapt from the elevator, ran, sweet meter maid still a meter away. I gasped, “Just in…”
“Bea?”
“But how?” A pink paper note decorated his screen. He started to read.
“Bea, some idiot’s smashed my door.”
“What door?”
“The driver’s side.”
Meter-maid gave him his ticket and walked on.

Life and
soul of the party she…
Well, maybe,
or maybe silently she…
So raise
your drinks and Bottoms Up! And she…
Lips will
you kiss them? She…
Lips chasing
destiny of curious words, she…
Never quite
finishes a sentence.
So drain
that coffee cup and type, she…
Might…
Maybe…

“Mocha
please”
“Cheese?”
“A mocha.”
“Americano.”
“No.”
“Do you want
to order something?”
“A mocha
please.”
“Ameri…”
“No.”
“Three?”
“One mocha
please.”
“One mocha.
One cheese bagel.”
“No bagel.”
“Six dollars
sixtysix cents.”
“But I
didn’t want a bagel.”
“Then when
did you buy one?”
“I wanted a
mocha
Please!”

David was reading his screen. Alice was moving the mouse
around wildly. Quite disturbing really. David huffed. Alice stopped. The mouse
ran back to its hole.
Afterwards David barked. Alice miaowed and ran. Then the
mouse came out, chewed the wire and the computer fried.
David read the newspaper instead.
