- pale gold castle school
- it was so special, that time
- everything mattered
- what we got at the corner store
- what kind of muffin, dense chocolate
- or oily poppyseed
- chocolate milk or Martinelli’s
- diet coke with lemon
- I wish I smoked then
- so I could return to it now
- stand in a corner and put on a song
- close my eyes and hold the ember
- out like a lantern
- airplane arms rigid drifting
- in a controlled
- glide
