Funny, the stupid things I remember

Funny, the stupid things I remember.

I never remember the important stuff,

Like addresses or birthdays

Or parties or hangouts

Or last names.

But I remember my second grade teacher's dogs were Rachel and Quimby

I remember the first "wormy" toy I got was in third grade

I remember the exact orders

Me and my best friend in the whole world

Ordered at the ice cream place

And I remember the tree we talked under

And I can't go there anymore

Can't go anywhere

Can't talk to people

If I keep running

Who could catch me?

Funny, the stupid things I remember

But they're never the things that matter.

  • Festival

    Long day

    past where morning sun shines and into the dark huskiness of night

    fluorescent lights beating down 

    then flickering off

    a fanfare

    a reflection

    a redemption

  • Instincts

    Some things are just instinct

    like when I just ran to you

    as soon as I saw you

    and hugged you for -

    oh yeah -

    the first time

    very very platonic of course

    you're my big brother.

  • Flying solo

    Your solo is like sun shining through the clouds in my heart

    it's like a platonic ballad

    it's like you are playing

    through first loves

    and forbidden loves

    and grass in the summer

    and crunchy chips
