What you want in life, by the time you do,
You no longer want it. But that’s another
Story, or stories, I should say, much too
Pointless to go into now. For what
Matters to me are those lifelong two
Transplanted figures in a suburb who
Loved me without saying, “I love you.”
Howard Moss, from “Long Island Springs,” New Selected Poems
