zeitgeist

today the paramedics came and took leanne away.
we weren't allowed in the room, but i wanted to say goodbye, at least.
it made me upset.








yesterday, i saw a boy that looked like he was in love.
he was sitting underneath a tree near building nineteen,
unbothered by the heat, his black backpack to his left,
smiling as he wrote a secret message in a red, spiral notebook.
i stared at him from a distance, wanting to say hi.
i wanted to ask him who the girl is
and if she had blue eyes or green.
i wanted to tell him that i know so many songs
and that i'm sure i could think of one
for him to sing and for her to keep,
tucked away underneath layers and layers
of other warm memories.
