Whatever happens to
the years months weeks days
we never think about
they must have happened
and sometimes crawl to the surface
while we are unawares
like a PBS marathon
in the middle of the night
you stayed up to record on VHS
repeats worth watching again
even stay vigilant awake
to skip the pledge breaks
but fall asleep as they play
backwards and forwards in a loop
you never sit through anymore
somewhere in this world
everything happens at once
for the first time
and it goes unnoticed unremarked
but happens nonetheless
and we are there sleepy eyed
against the tide to witness
and adjust while
someone else drives the car
