Glass
They were dancing as if
swimming among the rocks.
We stood by the wall,
drinking beer
out of the green-labeled can.
We talked about
sjadow plays, operas and
how your friend's father witnessed
Caruso break a goblet
by his forceful voice.
I laughed,
wishing I could break
the thin but inevitable glass
between me and your world.
