Did You Miss Me? (red flowers & guacamole)
I bumped into him at the thriftshop today
he was wearing his brown highwaters
and the Faith Nugget tee-shirt I
bought for him at the Swap-A-Rama
tent sale the first week we met in that
cheesy creative writing class back when
I was suffering some sort of private delirium
caused by all that sugary frosty poetry
we were being force fed --
it was like ODing on cotton candy &
the teacher gave me a F on my poem,
"Generators & Pumps" which was about
the grand canyon and the water of love...
He said, "HEY! Snap out of it!
We are both breathing in all
the bad air from grandpa's attic,
let's go eat some guacamole,
you're looking too high and mighty dry.."
So yea, I spent the rest of the day with
him laughing at his imitations of Falco singing
"Der Kommissar" and getting guacamole in my armpits.
