a night thinking

3AM is when my mother is right, when problem sets are finished, and when my tears crystallize. Buses stop running as beads of water run rivulets down my shoulders into my towel. You were right that day you told me we would suffocate each other. The wall clock ticks in tune to my racing heart. Across the continent a city is waking. I wonder if you've thrown my toothbrush away.
