“The Needle Still Hanging”

remembered, not in order:
the path forked green, a chain of switchbacks, I took the long way twice
the rack was empty when I got there — somebody else's Tuesday, not mine
half a sandwich, wrapper folded like an apology I didn't finish either
the box unsealed at 3pm, screen still wearing its plastic skin
a message drafted three times, sent once, regretted by 3:04
needle down, thread caught mid-word —
some days you don't get to finish the sentence you started
