The city moved past, her favorite pastime
Watching the could be, what might be,
the possibilities
Of those lights, that room, this building, speeding
the reflections of the river refracting in her mind
what might be
could she, would he, might be,
the activities
if she could keep her mind from wandering and wondering
silence too full, too intimate, too perfect
spoken – spell broken
his control moved the city past, her favorite pastime
could she, would he, might be
vulnerabilities
