How Did We Meet?

Nicolette-Avery Poems

We met at the bar No, I was way too young We met at school No, you were way too old We met at 7/11 No, you wouldn’t have stayed and talked to me We met taking a cigarette break outside the 7/11 No, you would smoke in your car We met at a bar I was too young to be in No, I didn’t go out like that when I was young We met at the library No, you don’t read We met at the grocery store No, you live a town away from me We met at the Christmas concert No, you hate organized functions We met at Barnes and Noble No, you still don’t read We met at an underground music show No, I wasn’t that cool We met at the park Maybe, but why were you at a park? We met at a family party No, it was a secret from them all alone We met at an alumni thing No, I wasn’t an alumni yet Rewriting our history To make art Seems a little too much Like lying And fiction never Really was My thing.
