all of april and most of may

i remember

crawling into

arms and the

smell of hot

pavement
breathing down

the neck of your
front yard.

hammock.

you are the

coolest person

to ever live

in a middle

class predominately

white neighborhood.

your brother

liked me

your cat

liked me

your step mother

loved me! i never

met your father

but you said

he would have

thought highly

of me and my

red car. i hope

you still

do
