must be
 feeling appreciated
 on the A train
selling candies
and shaping
your cheeks
   to be like Edison's

Anchor

Are you out there with your

soft hair and hair brush?

We sat by the creek but it was too loud to hear each other.

We walked arm in arm through meadows.

We rolled on carpets, cleaned nightly by men.

I loved your lisp

the last time I saw you, when i didn't know how to be proper.

It made you seem like an old friend, new.
