Have you ever walked into a room

to smile the smile of someone you used to know

Someone old someplace new

I come home with six cold keys

from a closed Hilo jail

six cold keys the size of forearm bones

We plant three bulbs for later

When it's later we pull one
It's a hot day it's a hot day

it's a hot day it's a hot day

and we are so amazed how slow it is to wilt

I wear my crush just like a plaid on a vest

that I never take off not even when it's hot
There are There are some days

that leave the taste of an orchard

so I bake them into something sweet
