BioMy friends and I will feel our age and promise
like gum stuck to the bottom of a chair.
We will abandon our punkhouses with their
faulty plumbinh, infested kitchens,
their complete videotape collections of The Simpsons,
their gig posters and macaroni.
We will cease out constant theft from the convenience
stores and yuppie restaurants and gourmet coffee shops
where we are always tenously employed.
Some will wake in wonder to Career or Family.
One or two will prematurely die,
and some will wish they had too and
perhaps take steps to rectify the situation
with a gun or a bad diet.
We will place ads in the local papers on out birthdays.
"Lordy Lordy, Look Who's Forty!"
And who knows whether it will be with the sense
of sarcasm and irony we covet now.
But we will become a lineage.
This line will settle into a quiet cardboard box
in a quiet suburb.
Someone will be writing things down without knowing why.
They might be walking on a deserted street
at two a.m. alone and feel a small stab of the time
I stood on a stage thousands of miles from home
and had nothing to say. Or the hurt I felt
by hurting. Or the Air in my lungs.
And, quite unremarkably, it will be remarkable
and glorious and hands will touch my face
the way I run my fingers across the furrowed frown
of Great-Grandmother,
the day her daughter died
just before she is about to write:
"At 3 or 4 a.m."
