memories


by bofa xesjum





johnny looked through the keyhole
at laura doing her math homework
nobody paid any attention to omar
and the psychopath who had terrorized the neighborhood was strangely quiet

remember last summer?
the termites under the stairs?
victory was there for the taking
except for the young people

he argyle sock man had nothing to say
beyond empty condolences
the dead did not emerge from their graves
franklin got back together with geraldine

how insistent we all were!
just in time for our karate lessons
let us make the same mistakes again
no one will laugh, especially the policeman
