J. Ficowski: I don’t know It’s too late I don’t want to

I expect nothing
except suprises
all I can remember
is how to forget
times and seasons tell me
Stop Notice

But I am a fast train
in a head-spinning stasis
I only stop
to read that faded letter
towhich I am forever
too late to respond

A moment pleads with me
Love me a little
just for a moment
But how
I don’t know It’s too late I don’t want to
you stay I’ll go
