the ’96 days might only exist in memories
cause seven years is a long time
there are no more zines
in valley stream
no more basement theater
or backyard barbecue acoustic shows

free afternoons that lazily
dribbled into late
laugh filled midnights

cure songs will only
remind me of
poignant bike rides,

running through the creek

the tripod in kurts backyard
with our manual cameras
set to capture
the swirling stars

a first love,
an electric current
through the veins
of a naive,
hopeful,
and
young
boy

i am a testament to
this boring town

dan and i once joked
about the ghosts that
live here

the little secret places

a comic shop
restaurant
a clearing
old friends

bought out
paved over
moved away

a tidal wave
has swallowed
this graveyard
