2009

I have this frozen memory of you on a bike bike bike

with a coke in hand

and a flannel on

riding over the grass

to see me maybe later

I have this frozen memory of you on a baseball diamond

with a box of cigarettes

tucked into your

tee shirt sleeve

and then we made some veggie burgers

on english muffins

I have this frozen memory of you on a bike bike bike

massaging my shoulders as we rode

how do you have such good balance

I think it was dangerous for us to be there

But you're tall

so I guess it was ok

I have this frozen memory of you on top of a hill

wait no, we were frozen

I pulled my hat over my eyes

I know it was dangerous for us to be there

but it was necessary

so I know it was okay

I have this frozen memory of you in my life

but I think that

it is possibly

a good time

for me to end this poem

and move on
