Eyes of The Soul
After a few weeks of baby tears and topless tears,
the drummer left in the night
abandoning his pretty new wife.
His reason? After the baby was born,
“her tits bagged out to her knees.”
Lovely man.
She cried for a couple of days, then took Zookie back to Florida.
We never heard from her again,
but I doubt she became a doctor.
The drummer went to Boston.
I dreamed he fell into the harbor.
I hope some dreams come true.
…I did remember.
I do remember,
and I remember Zookie.
I’ve thought of him often over the years.
He’s a middle-aged man now.
I’ve wondered what his life was like.
It’s strange,
he doesn’t even know that I exist,
and yet I remember him,and think about him.
Our time on earth overlapped by a few weeks,
Yet I left no footprints in his world, even though he left sweet tiny ones in mine.
