Forgotten Yesterdays MAG
You halt and I go.
Much too fast, way too slow.
Confusion, like the
little train that could.
Giving, the tree that
told us it was good.
Macaroni Mornings,
a childhood routine.
An unfulfilled wish,
a risky trampoline.
Backyard dates,
Fabreeze cologne.
Faking you're asleep,
when we know you're on the phone.
Your name in cursive,
over and over.
Mutation by the sandbox,
a four-leaf clover.
Surround-sound mimicking
every line.
Sticky notes –
What's yours, what's mine.
Pyromaniacs with
exploding Roman candles.
Wheelbarrel rides,
loose grips on the handles.
Cardboard memory boxes,
six inches under.
The earth engulfing things,
a childhood wonder.
Long days,
jumping hugs.
Closet monsters
and lightning bugs.
I halt and you go.
Much too fast, way too slow.
