you remember?

 

purple owls on your mask

cartoons with egg wise eyes

little vee beaks

 

🦉👀

 

and us, too.

 

oh?

 

park walking

in our same sneakers

you almost kicked shit lol

 

careful!!

you didn't tell me??! lol

 

no. I watch

*watched

you animate and wander

through years

 

to where?

 

to Chicago

to Switzerland

 

yesssss

 

on a train in Geneva

you went all pixelated in the wind

*window

 

I love that.

 

and I wasn't there

and I didn't see you

step over the platf orm gap 

in Lucerne

in the shoes I gave you

 

💜💜

 

your stovepipe legs spiderbent

your long body following

 

sigh...trains.

 

I didn't watch you pause

to read the boards

 

let's move to Europe.

 

and I didn't see

you, smiling.
