[ almost ]

almost is a good and bad word, at the same time. hum.

[you know.]



what happened in glen oak park last thursday

you wanted me to come and get an icecream with you,
on a sunny afternoon. you said it would be nice.
i was hesitant; i mumbled something about having
things to do: grocery shop, feed the cat, read the newspaper.
i might have said yes, if you were someone else, or i was,
or if i had been wearing my favoirte fuchsia shirt.
who doesnt feel brave in fuchsia? brave like a small child
on the big swingset for the first time, without the safety belt
and not even needing the safety belt, either.

i bought a notebook and a package of pencils on my way home
and then i imagined out a different ending for everything.
