elusive and illiterate;
how do I find you?
lost and undiscovered;
where do I chart you?
you'd say that you weren't just some number on a napkin
but where else would I keep you
when the summer roads led me from California to New York
searching for your face one more time?
I kept old albums of your backyard parties,
your birthday sleepovers
your ice cream soirees that went into the morning
and you'd tell me to forget you,
just some page dust in a crumbling library
but you never remembered that
I'm the perfect library queen.
