Promise

the Sharpie wasn't working
on the envelope in which
is the last book I'll send you. 

at some point,
if you are of a certain generation—
the unnamed one between
Gen X and Millennials,
which I affectionately call
The Hipster Generation—
you burned your last CD
without spectacle 
or remembrance.

this is like that,
but I will remember it,
and you, promise.
