Between Then and Now
I wish there were
a border between
then and now.
A guard would
stop me and ask
for my passport.
"Where are you going?"
"Back then."
He would look at
all the stamps.
"You've been there often."
I would nod.
"Not today,"
he would say as
he held out my ID.
I would stare at him
as I took it back,
lower my eyes, and
then, turn away.
