TWO STRANGERS TRYING TO DEFINE BLISS



i close a door and shut
out two windows

a little bliss lives here
beside me
and it wants the privacy
of a short story that you
do not want published

it can win you a prize if
you do not put your name
but they will forfeit it
for someone who is open
like the lagoon

nevertheless
after a short while bliss
sleeps

and i open the door and
two windows
and i walk outside to
flirt with the wind

it rains and i run to the
other side of the road
where everybody is waiting
for the rain to stop

no one looks at anybody
everyone thinks for each self
how to find bliss
in such secrecy because
it cannot be shared

you tell me you love me
and then i will tell you about it
there are conditions that the
door and the windows set

and you may not like it
and you may instead find bliss
anywhere

just like what everybody does
leaving me alone again
in my own privacy

where i am the door myself
where i am my two windows
where i concoct again my own
version of private bliss

we chat we talk about some other things
we have never met and i have no plans.
