Time Zones

i woke in
the hopes
of bumping
into you in the 

bathroom
like we did
the morning
before 

though
we both live
in different
countries 

so i sat down 
as if on a chair 
waiting and
contemplating

not being able to
step in the same
stream twice so
went back

to bed
where you
laid your head
going back to sleep

God no Maureen by any means, but by you writing this means very much to me. Thank you so much.
