Scene 19

After each of us has backpacked, solo, across southwestern Europe

After all of us have lived recklessly for a 2 to 228 month period

Once we’ve all carried a sleeping child to their bed when we, ourselves, are half-asleep

Once we’ve all moved in together in Arizona.

When the time comes to change our clothes

and rebuild the trees

and put the continents back together.

Christ will come.
