Laundromat
the blue sweater is chasing the black hoodie in the loop
of a whirl in the tumble-dryer in the laundromat on the corner
of this street and this other street in this neighbourhood
in this city in this rain at this time
of dark chasing daylight swallowing it in slivers
under the streetlamps, under the neon glare, under the hum
of static, under the shedding of lint the blue sweater
is dancing with the black hoodie in the imponderability
of the round window hole of some rocket blazing
through all these years of chasing some steadily illusory
landing that would open into touch, ascent, conquest, the world
is holding breath midair in the loop waiting
for you to insert more coins or whatever you have
to give
