the contract

You know it is going to be
         Forever.

You know.

   You decide, you
go.   When you come back, 
  everything is the same. 
  Having felt through the anxiety of
changed rhythms and 
plain speeches and 
    hurtling. Into the morning 
         with phantoms and fantasies
up around your head
(though coming thick and ordinary from mine)

-- a sign of the times, he, thirty-one, says
though she says, 
"Welcome to the '70s."
