and rivered right,
passing tigers
and chain gangs,
back in time.
on this night,
four years ago,
I was tending bar
in Union Square
when she texted me
a terrific defeat.
life changes in seconds,
often remembered as
massive moments when
memories are all we have.
and for the next 45 days,
I was her hero,
and love was real.
That was four years ago,
which is like high school
or college, and
my, how time flies
and love fades,
but it's okay,
I have archeological proof.
