Long-time

by Daniel Peterson

it’s been so long since we’ve been,
that it’s almost too painful to fill in
all the details
artificially for the sake of one conversation,
and so we wait,
and then we graduate…

to sadness—

Author's Note: This poem was inspired by the oddly intriguing Franz Wright and his book The Beforelife.
