Poem for Tuesday, June 16, 2009


Summertime and Nothing Else

"Now you're all gone, got your makeup on, and you're not coming back..."
  -Broken Social Scene

Equilibrium hit
when we least
                         expected it
our timid molecules
suddenly mobile
when we were entangled in
                          90 degrees of hand-
holding and smiling

there was a hole in
my jeans and
a stain on your blouse
an itch on my arm and
a tickle in your throat
we laughed at these
                          silly indiscretions

do you remember
when the stratus clouds
crunched the sun?

do you remember
how the rain fell through
a busted pipe in the sky?

I remember
when you tried to be pensive
(you were wearing a
                          yellow skirt
 I watched as it lifted in
                          the breeze)
