Wrist Deep

She spoke avid
like a breaking lid:
Flipping a coin
is the best way
to make a decision.

Words split
half and half
and halves of halves.
Flitting and not
worth mention.

The thing is that
while the coin flips,
in that split second
(a blue or brown eyed
universe is born;
its name is everything)

in the minutia of falling
(me thinking
where have I been
until now? in smoke?
wrestling my own muscles
against pillows?)
you begin to root
for one side

or for another.
