For some reason I remember Snoopy —Don't ask me why For I couldn't tell you— I remember the Snoopy t-shirt She wore And that I got really excited Because I love Snoopy It's strange What you remember What bits and pieces you keep I remember her reading Shyly spilling words at the front of the room And everyone —Everyone— Leaning in to hear That soft, enchanting voice I remember keys Lots and lots of keys A whole hand of them, in fact An art project I watched emerge As she wielded a hot glue gun It's mostly the poetry I remember —And her smile But who doesn't?— I can see her standing at the mic Enthralling her audience Mesmerizing them Keeping them hanging on her every word She was a star There was no doubt A poetic star We talked through her poetry once Tweaked it here and there Changed some tenses Fixed some commas But most importantly We decided That when "night sloughed off its veil" It should be day Once more

It Should Be Day Once More
For some reason I remember Snoopy —Don't ask me why For I couldn't tell you— I remember the Snoopy t-shirt She wore And that I got really excited Because I love Snoopy It's strange What you remember What bits and pieces you keep I remember her reading Shyly spilling words at the front of the room And everyone —Everyone— Leaning in to hear That soft, enchanting voice I remember keys Lots and lots of keys A whole hand of them, in fact An art project I watched emerge As she wielded a hot glue gun It's mostly the poetry I remember —And her smile But who doesn't?— I can see her standing at the mic Enthralling her audience Mesmerizing them Keeping them hanging on her every word She was a star There was no doubt A poetic star We talked through her poetry once Tweaked it here and there Changed some tenses Fixed some commas But most importantly We decided That when "night sloughed off its veil" It should be day Once more
