We’ll Talk Then

First

Please spend one night alone
Outdoors
On foot
And on five dollars

Or better yet
Not even one

Anything you wish to have
With you that night
You must carry through the day prior
Also on foot
Through the city streets
Without ever going indoors
Except to a bathroom

If you’re very lucky
That time

Then

Meet me in the morning
Not too early for my own dear comfort

And we’ll talk
