Perhaps Eternity

Perhaps Eternity is one late sweet

encapsulating August afternoon wherein
your creatures pile around you
in the room – affectionate, preoccupied –

attending to the slap of skateboards
whapping concrete in the park across
the street, the muted shout of rowdy
sixteen-year-old boys igniting impulse

into warm hormonal war, while soft
cross-ventilating breezes toss, commune
through windows in your darkening
East Village flat. Perhaps Eternity is that.
