Acre Lane

Walking down the street
One day
I separated
I was crying
divided in two
a casual observer
watching myself cry
beside myself

What’s the matter?
I casually asked        (No Reply)
Not knowing how long
This division would last

Mildly anxious (Keening)
disinterested
wanting to join in
enviously detached

Building annoyance
Look                    (Accept me)
what is this about?
No patience

I give up
this puzzle
wasting of time            (Breathing space).
a nonsense

And I think I am whole again.
