Speaking of the kids in my hometown
we used to walk the traintracks obsessively
like they’d lead us somewhere
like they’d show us something
like the end of the summer was just a bookend parallel line with the river by the library card that promised if i only read enough books i could get out of there and over the moon.
just parallel lines, but they made as much sense as any other way out.
And the gazebo where the high school band played
and I swung on my first date
