Quire

A second brain you walk through later. The notes below were written weeks apart. Quire laid them side by side.

Morning

Saw the same dog at the corner. I did not write the breed. I wrote the pause before I crossed.

Weeks later

The pause showed up again while I was writing about my mother on the phone.

I had not gone looking for the dog. The earlier note was already there.

Today

Quire laid the two notes side by side. The dog and the phone call were the same kind of waiting.
