Like a Photograph
 You might like to live in one of these smallish
          houses that start to climb a hill, then fumble
          back to the beginning as though nothing had happened.
         
          You might enjoy a dinner of sandwiches
          with the neighbor who makes concessions.
          It will be all over in a minute, you said. We both
          believed that, and the clock’s ticking: flame on, flame on.
