cleveland and vicinity

i pick up a piece
of the past
from the bottom of a box
my mind tracing
the memories it inspires

like a road map

cleveland and vicinity

a little smile, a little sadness
knowing i can never
take that road again
you can't recapture a feeling
(he said)

this overflowing box of journals and letters and poems
on napkins
disagrees
with lake effect force

cuz here i am
feeling
gone
straight back to that moment
in time

he's gone
forever
(that's a mighty big word)
and he was wrong

cleveland and vicinity

i can feel you
feel me back
cuz here i come
back to my
independence
(and my arabica flavored dreams)

hello, cleveland...and goodbye
