walked on the side

and carried the

other ams,

underneath my arm

stuffed into

a plastic bag

the fabric wet,

manifested ands

of collected "whos" or

the thought of me, the weight

that being, fills my hands

and pulling, sways my gait

but barefoot,

walking back

with unburdened pace

(the lightened clothes, or)

ams or ands

mattered less than

the who of place.
