RELOCATION

We were having a fair exchange

Then in walked someone who changed the currency

We shrugged and looked away

Because to look meant something different from before

And the means that we had just spoken of

Now became unmentionable, impenetrable.

So in silence we looked away

Enclosed now within the walls of that room

That filled our averted consciousness

And made us restless

Not like before.
