someday, all my memories will come to pass, and then,
then a return, because all life is is really just a
circle, when you stop and think about it, really,
just a circle, a collection of points that give an
illusion of continuity, the shock of returning,
a contact brings certain things into focus, a return,
coming back, yielding, and the girl in the shoestore,
tall and leggy, raven haired beauty, probably goes
to uic, i wonder as i walk by, walking to work, day
after day, off the el, she stands above and beyond,
apart
