1206

celebration congratulations
it’s been so long
an old shoe and new hat
congratulations
man
it’s been so long

deep pull
deep pool
man
Josie stayed in the water

2012 and feet stretching
(the gang heard we were
dancing to the empty bandstand)
to dry voices

loss and lost
but that’s forgetting
when we gave each other
other
names
man
congratulations

on the eve
of forgetting to say
condolences
that was then when it called itself
now
now now,
man

plane type plain tight

it was hot we stayed
celebrating
to empty bandstands

congratulations
