rules of structure

i remember
not knowing what
to say
when you said
something i wished
to forget
and thinking
that if you shift
the i
that i am
we either become
untied
or
united

a simple mistake
of order
and time
spent as a
token of depreciation

*

there was once
a time when
there wasn’t a time
which happened
when we began
and again when
we ended
like a circle cutting
itself into a line
and realizing that
it is part of infinity
tiny dots spent
not adding to anything
but its ends

*

who is left
when you leave
for i cannot find
anyone
not even myself
being lost
