Borders
Sat down drew
on a piece of paper
the land
we knew.
Sat down drew
lines between

it's a squiggle here
decided,
the river's clear
ly a bound

Hello
We went to Montreal recently
On a school trip for our band.
We almost didn't have a performance to go watch
Or a friendship concert with another school

That One Summer Night (that was forever once)
It wasn't hot for once. Ohio remains hot every summer but the night seems to be like cold water poured over a fire pit:
the heat lightens up but the smoke of it hangs in the air, the remnants of what it was before.

I'm Sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry for what
My country is doing
For what we seem to think
Is OK
I'm sorry for how
My president is acting

Polaroid
I remember taking Polaroids with you
In the driveway of the house you’ve now sold
On a grey afternoon that looked like night
In the photos. We’d wait impatiently

Dear Canada
Dear Canada,
You do not belong to us.
You never have.
And I really, really hope you never will.
You are your own country, but I know I don’t have to tell you that.
