The original three
the beginning, almost
of our bond.
In my backyard
reading books that we found
weird
gross
too informational
with comic strips
oh, I am never going to forget the comic strips.
We bonded
but over what, I can't tell
maybe it was because we biked and walked to school together
maybe it was because we knew each other
nearly from the start.
We're still like that
except we walk and bike to school together less
but we still have the connection
the bond
the trio.
She has many sides
a faceted diamond
clear and shining
she drapes herself over the landscape
engulfing the cool orange of fall in her white satin robes
cold and gleaming
My funny little friend
appearing at my door
day in and day out
to say hello to me.
So intelligent
yet so stupid
chasing after fallen leaves and blades of grass
lying on the doormat
Happy birthday
or more like happy belated birthday -
I'm a day late -
but still
you're fourteen now
same as you were a week ago
but older
You'll be driving in what, two years?
we're so old
