& i wrote last time that i finished a poem for the first time in ages. a couple days ago i finished another one. barely any editing. fully formed. it's amazing how one thing follows another.
a couple nights ago on fb i see an ad for a show a couple of my friends are putting on. and a couple other sets as well, one name i don't recognize, the other i do. my ex's partner, a musician & active in that scene. i haven't talked with my ex in many years. if went back — if there was another show, if i went to support my friends — would i be recognized, if not by look, by name?
a large province. small degrees of separation.
