823 miles
12 hours
how far can I go before people stop remembering?
how thin is too thinly spread?
when I'm living an hour ahead
miles away
cultures apart
will everyone I love feel the jet-lag?
carry-on luggage under the eyes
exhaustion in their bones
even now
I possess the uncanny ability to make people sick
what happens
when I am away?
-r.w.
