I planted my feet 

on different sidewalks

and memorized maps

of a brand new home

with long, long hair

and nervous eyes.

I found miles of places

to lose myself in —

undiscovered hands,

and in the streets,

in the noise,

and in the darkness,

even amidst all the light.

I stood in the rain,

and carefully remembered

how I’ve forgotten you.

I watch the sunrise on rooftops,

and forget how I remembered you,

and I grow my hair out,

and I lose myself

in something better.
