city angels

where two watch and wait

What can be done with rationalizations
once removed from the box and christened.
Two walk by the grace of the same fate
at which I wring my arms and squint my eyes.
The labor and moaning of jest
is missing in the morning. I scheme
the empty crevice, the steel and glass,
the Ferris wheel height to reach your window.
I know what the limits of gravity are.
I know where my hand ends — at the reach of gravity.
