I wake up like a stray dog belonging to no one. Cold, cold, and the rain. Friendships outgrown or ruined.

Going There

by Jack Gilbert

The danger when we try to leave. Going over and over afterward what we should have done instead of what we did. But for those short times we seemed to be alive. Misled, misused, lied to and cheated, certainly. Still, for that little while, we visited our possible life.
