Getting and Forgetting

 

I find you in others 

your name scrawled in markers 

just when I think I’ve discovered 

something rare you’re there 

 

it goes beyond coincidence 

it’s persistent I could easily 

mistake something random 

for planned, yet you appear 

 

I re-spread the covers 

protecting myself from goblins 

meanwhile windmills of my mind 

are propelled by your air 

 

it’d be cheaper to surrender 

I could save on calendars 

not needing to remember 

important dates, disappeared
