was a taxi cab day
all yellow and green
bought a bottle of Beaujolais
set out for New Orleans
walked over bridges
across the great rivers
innocence a uniform
a package to deliver
like a child, wide eyed in wonder
cries every time it hurts
like a child, I cant help but wonder
do you miss me
like I miss you
it may not be so foolish
to a fool
because he’s the first one
to ignore the golden rule
follow his instincts
stay away from school
be the person that he is
instead of being cool
like a child….
was only yesterday
they were together
making love in an empty filed
talking about the weather
who knows why
it had to end
no particular reason
it seemed important then
like a child….
