once upon a time

I wrote a poem about this day and thought it actually meant something.

And we wrote letters to the firefighters of NYC. And thought it meant something.

I fell in love with a quiet artistic boy in an English class, and everyone knew, and Fournier loved it.

And when I saw him sitting on the bench outside the library, a cigarette in those long hands, a black shirt making it all clear, I wanted to go out there, or at least to the window to knock, and wave like a fool.
