Cooperstown instead of Maine, &
the Baseball Hall of Fame,
no hugging,
no touching,
walkie-talkie sexting.
Don't you remember everything?
The cop lights and "curfews,"
Hallelujahs and belt loops,
The near snapping,
and shattering,
of the basement window I crawled through.
Don't you remember everything?
The breakups (three)
The birthday
(seventeen)
The (one) spot I'd take you,
Despite its history.
The heat most of all, but the rain too,
on the night
that my bike, through
my neglect,
out the window,
didn't lock it up,
and I insisted to us,
that it would be alright.
love this especially hallelujahs and belt loops
