Ancient paper
In the zipped pocket
Of an old leather bag
Receipts
Itineraries
Detroit
Dallas
Denver
A life once lived
Depicting only details
Of places and times
Flavorless
Yet true in a way
Having been there
The fading papers
Create a distance
That doesn’t occur
In my mind
Signaling and
Pushing me into the present
I shake my head awakening
And step out into the current timeline
Once again
