At twenty years old
The fuel pump ages out
Still cheaper than new

Last two college tours
One more parental checkmark
Senior year milestone

Walked through the fall day
Listening to the leaves crunch
Fab until rake time

Sweet rice flour hunt
Trekked through Minneapolis
Stores gone, axes out

The corner shocked us
A face that left years ago
Reminds us of then

Last cross-country meet
Seven years of running done
Injuries and all

For forty years now
Malls eavesdropped on our chatter
Spiels change, cadence stays

Sneaking a date in
Not out, but we’re together
Grab on to us time

As the outside cools
We fight the cats for blankets
Can’t turn on heat yet

Kids eat kid movie
Followed by cooking ribs fumes
Hurls me from the kitchen
