Click hereIt really doesn't matter,
but since you asked.
My childhood, tattooed by
memories of you and I,
intertwined.
You know my soul,
but I know your name,
what a bargain.
Life seems easier when
you leave, unplanned.
Trips for some tropical
paradise with only your
suitcase and a deck of cards
with the jokers missing.
Joker's wild, you'd always say,
grinning at me in victory,
screw the poker face.

SeattleRainabout 20 years agoI often do not like poems of this subject because they come across as irrational or sappy-sentimental. This is a great example of a specific piece, two specific pieces, of hurt turned back around on the sender. Nice, powerful.
