I took a walk
through my neighborhood

just like any other walk,
but I noticed so many things.

The plum blossoms in shades of
white and pink were blooming

in the trees along the sidewalk.

I know you went running

yesterday

and your kids had a great

first day of school

picture, anyway,

I wore overalls too

but everyone will think

I was copying you

won't they didn't they

i toured six different colleges over the past week

& i didn't care about the clubs

Her room smelled of lavender and gardenias

As we lay under silky rays of sun

And danced around the truth in long, snaking sentences,

Words falling over one another until they

Became nothing, only syllables
