Alex Boyd Poems

Back to Poems Page

dates are just our little picket fences, really

but this one reminds me of an earlier one

from high school when I stood on a streetcorner and waited

next to an old man like this until he turned

sharply and said I hope you don't grow up

and lose your wife like I did that's a terrible

thing and by the way hit those books

well I like school and get pretty good marks I lied

to him and he said well good but this

old guy looks at me, walks on

nothing much happens until sleep curls around me

that night and I'm reminded with no string

for my balloon I fall through a day

and disappear never remember myself
