long hallways
dirty dishes
kerosene heater
anthills up the sleeve
one bed
ain’t that right?
lost a dog
in the street
lost another to
fuck, now I can’t remember

birthday parties and
melted cake
it was ice cream
that’s right

table giving splinters
like a preacher giving sermons
like my knees giving up

Saturday morning and plastic
teeth
plastic swords
sorry I broke that light
when was that anyway?

cigarettes in the lagoon
never been to the beach
except for once
scared of the waves

a guitar and a cheap skateboard
falling in love
in speech therapy
one of us remembers it right
