For a matter of moments,
an immaculate appointment
appearing out of nowhere
no beginning, just is
where she was going without
where she had been
the future without the past
For a fleeting moment two appointments
both in play, until the update on the screen
a from for the to, a beginning for the end
cleaner that way,
connectionally speaking that is
May 5, 2008
of the information on the NE Conference
appointment changes page this morning,
when Ruth’s new appointment was listed (the to)
but her current appointment (the from)
was not listed at all.
