Sublogic

The way in which we describe the propositions 
                      is not essential.
                                                - Ludwig Wittgenstein

I cannot say how far—
how many hallways traversed,
locked knobs rattled,
rooms checked,
loose panels pried free
to look behind, just in case—

only to find you, finally,
in someone else’s space,
where I discovered
that to hear you there
on the other side of the door
was enough.

Here’s a proposition for you:
        don’t give a fuck
about the way it is described.

So you be a philosopher
and I’ll be a poet
no one will ever
wonder what happened to us
except ourselves.
