In Stereo
Missed Connections in Brooklyn, NY
Listening to things in stereo
with four speakers
instead of two
while my quadraphonic
philosophical
thoughts
simmer
and the light in
my head
shimmers
we sat under
the green
shade
i remember your thoughts
and bubble gum
lips
there was no past so we
never looked
back
we just stared straight ahead
looking into the
future
and i remember thinking
there’s going to be
a poem
there
Note from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle Finder:
I’m taking a bit of a vacation through July 15 so I thought it would be fun to dig through the missed connections archive and re-publish some of the gems you may not have caught the first time around. This is a perfect summertime piece – you can almost feel the warmth of the day and the coolness of the shade. and the line, “…and i remember thinking there’s going to be a poem there” is one made of July memories.
