Let us small talk the knowing carefully;
instant recognition bound to the tongue.
Have we reached the unspoken limit?
The place where whispers evaporate?

Then, against my will, I wait
and forget
and remember
in maddening cycles of the mind
until the next place of condensation.

Will I find there among the others,
my shadow that I forced into exile?
