Thursday
The act of walking is an opinion
held by the body against the body.
Ten thousand arguments, each one
landed and released.
Above, the usual committee
of clouds, their minutes illegible,
their quorum never quite reached.
In the middle hours, two rooms
opened like hands.
We passed something back and forth—
not information, not agreement,
but the other thing,
the thing that has no name
because naming it would make it
stop.
