de facto sixteen

the most tantalizing fact about our lives is that we had other lives
those déjà vu(s) are our moments of recollection - eight times he
said in passing - he's been here eight times as we parted from
the court house steps - i wanted to stop and tell him i think i've
been here 15 - but i thought that bragging and really i'll have
time next life - i have plans for that life and the moment i see you
in that virginia sky i will stop, look you straight in the eyes and
say the sky has been so hazel this cold February day, what else

can i say - and if i miss - i will try again in the el paso sky
