on the right bank of the East River
sitting on torn concrete
shaking hands and empty fingers
and I know it won't mean anything

if indeed this was like
a first marriage
then you and I together
can be like divorcees

I don't need to talk about it
and I don't want
to know anything yet
so you can take what's on the table
when you go
you go for everything

and if indeed this was like
a first marriage
then you and I together
can be like divorcees
