Time passes you in the subway car

as you look for a place to rest your knees.

It licks your cheek when a snowflake

makes you forget...

It's standing by your shoulder

when you can't find your face

in a blurry photo on Facebook of your high school

class the year of graduation.

You remember the bleachers and

someone smiles at you

still, yet you cannot find you

when that much remembering has stepped

down the underground lines at speed.
