Midtown Ride

two nights ago i was ahead of myself
the woman     lake like a horizon
to my left was guiding spirits after two years of chaos
had gotten caught just below my left eyebrow

i dreamt i was on a bus
fish had been flying overhead they had a great view
holiday lights and i became myself
looks a little like manhattan up there

	i’m switching guardian spirits after two years
	of what must have been an elaborate passage
	her hooks     whose profile looked a little
	more like mine in the mirror
	i could understand that one
	it was just me outside the window looking back in
