So I said I wanted you to stay, even though nothing could stay the same.
And I told you: I think of a photograph you took of me, up in Montreal. You told me to jump in the air, so in the picture, my feet are off the ground. Later, I asked you why you wanted me to do that, and you told me it was the only way to get me to forget about the expression on my face. You were right. I am completely unposed, completely genuine. In my mind’s eye, I picture myself like that, reacting to you.

So even though there’s a DON’T WALK sign, you cross anyway.

I know I’ll make it across. I always make it across. But the car is always there, and I always stop to watch it coming.
