perfumes that ebb like memories, mental antidotes

for a path traveled

aromas that remind

much more aptly than images,

while strangers smile

and world’s overlap

it’s not as much about

minding the gap,

as it is

falling in from time to time

leaving behind sanitized realities

so as to remind one’s self

that “easy” isn’t

the same as “good” jump. right. in.
