Things I Do

Things I do

I like possibilities

collapsing the space 

and time

between us

I like to imagine

umm, let's say

what if we had met on 

3rd August 2013

you arriving at 11:00 

and I ten minutes later?

would you have preferred 

reading Bolano to me 

then?

Or named me Fusun 

for my strange desire

of being renamed?

I like imagining different times

different places

as if they exist

as if they don't exist

'what if' is like my 

favorite thing

however, not the big things

just the small ones

Like would you have 

preferred having waffles with me

and thinking about

strange brimming coffee cups

that Ezekiel drank in Iranian Coffee shops?

Or would you have 

slept earlier 

every night

in anticipation 

that you might hear from me

sooner

or even later? 

these imaginations

or my graphic images

do not lead to another

they remain as it is

exactly how they would 

have felt

if they at all, would have happened.

For what could have been imagined

was perhaps never imagined

by either of us

and I undo 

all these possibilities

at one go.
