Time Place
At 12:45, at dusk, at sunrise At the library, standing at the edge, walking at the signal, yelling ‘Surprise!’ at Sophie
On Friday, on our anniversary On the fridge, the building on Sixth Street, on the stage
In the evening, in June, in 1990, tested in forty minutes  In the book, in Seattle, in my bedroom
