And in that moment
just before your spray
given the options
was it really so much easier to
turn away and face the wall
find comfort in some instant too long gone
and duck the question
of what you and I might represent
decline to comment
on the differences between our then and now
and choose to spend this time away
keep anything I might offer at bay
spend moments staring into space
looking for someplace you won’t find
letting me watch as you
seek solitude
the moment
that you
come
