Distance=Absence

I am behind a glass
where I can see your blood
but it does not touch me

I spent my entire childhood

learning to need no one
and all of my adulthood
learning to not even want

it is not emotion
 
          but language
not about reality
          but distance

to live in the moment

you can only live
one moment at a time

and no one will see you

when you can no longer
recognize yourself
