had something wise to say then i forgot what it was
which is wise
which is wise
waiting for you to come home soon the evening
getting started
the neighbors have been having a backyard party
they waved
but do not invite me over so i smile at them
i wave back
over the hours the party becomes louder
more intense
feelings and some of the people fall back
lay on the grass
others are hopping up and down arms rigid
and chests out
the games are all played and there's some
embarrassment as some leave
the few that remain do a sunburned pantomime
appear to be in a play
it takes me back
as i hear your car pull up
