We were young then,
We balanced sidewalks.
We were cool then and dripping wet
With our lack of common sense.
Your mother measured
How tall those marks on walls were
Worth their (????).
We were heavy,
Tree branches couldn't hold us.
And teasing curfew, we'd buy time
For the time being.
We thought we knew the difference between
Swallowed whole and running reckless.
And so he tasted
Your skin in sandboxes.
And so he spread you flat on the ground
Just like a blanket.
We walked the wrong ways
And talked thick words in thin places.
I sat on his bedspread,
He played his father's James Taylor records.
My head full of "this is the end of my life as I know it".
These words, this room, this man,
These piano warheads
That are scattered correspondence
Will be keeping me from clinging to you.
We were young then,
We were childish,
Carving peepholes from our pupils.
We balanced sidewalks.
We were cool then and dripping wet
With our lack of common sense.
