Border Crossing

Remember when we crossed over?
It didn't begin at Matamoros
But it ended there.
Sometime around 3 am
When we woke your accountant
So that he could fax us the latest bank statements
From your business
And we could convince the INS
Or whatever the hell it is they are called now
To let us cross.
And cross we did.

But the real border had already been traversed
A month or so back, when we were not aware.
Points of no return
Too often come and go, unannounced.
