I have been overflowing lately,
which is good.

These things come in waves and I don’t always know when it will be
a generous outpouring or a weak trickle.

In this I have split a page in two and listed things,
I think it is a story that is mine but also not.

Like the story of those around me and also me and
a list of my timeline.

Which I always punctuate with places instead of events:

North Carolina,
Australia,
Maryland,
Dallas,
Colorado,
Austin,
Colorado,
Austin,
Colorado,
next, next, next.
