exit

We are all seven steps from infinity

Seven steps from speeding accidental bus bumper 

Seven steps from saving twelve step subjugation 

Seven steps from the end of the pier and high tide 

Seven steps from a salving embrace 

Seven steps seems like a lot 

Seven steps is infinitesimal 

Seven steps from a fleeting perpendicular relationship with the railroad tracks 

Seven steps from a family member asking…are you ok? 

Seven steps from saving your friend a seat in Hell’s waiting room 

Seven steps from a friend calling at just the right time 

Seven steps from a razor slicing bloody virgin wrist hymens 

Seven steps from carving an all too perfect roast on Sunday 

Seven steps one way 
seven steps the other 
fourteen chances 
to remain and 
enjoy the sun rising 
promise over Montauk.
