&quot;But you see, Meg, just because we don&#039;t understand doesn&#039;t mean that the explanation doesn&#039;t exist.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> - Madeleine L&#039;Engle, A Wrinkle in Time


To be taped into your mind’s photo album -
the two of us, forks and knives in hand,
knees brushing beneath the thick-woven tablecloth
draped over a sharp-cornered table
tucked by two great planes of glass.
The clouds devouring each other,
and a great smashing of light
falling over us like a breaker,
all the cutlery and napkins and hollandaise-ed eggs
bobbing like champagne bottles in water.
Catch the corners of this in black tape -
us two, bleached out of the city
in a sudden wide sea of light.
