Got the Call At 10:20, and I Want to Fold

got the call at 10:20, and i want to fold

got the call at 10:20, and i want to fold
grief into a paper-plane,
drag the oceans into long
division, and let the sky toss us home.

better yet, i want to play the quantum
physicist, crawl into a polynomial
embrace, tie the formulas
end to end to end
to fish us triumphantly
out of the terminal wormhole.

with a fist in my heart, i know now
the saddest part of loss
is the sudden departure of fear
.
