Bad Memories (a Poem)

Posted in Poem by admin on the May 8th, 2008

Do you remember
What we said that day
That cold cold
Day
of Hot Hot
summer
When the sand crept
Beneath our toes
and the Children laughed
and I frowned and
Tried not to cry
but there was
A huge Pain
in my stomach that felt like
Train Wrecks
and I couldn’t hold my food
Down
Do you Remember
What we said that day
What we said about
us
I do
I remember the
Fried Dough
I remember the
Park
the
rocks I hit
my Head on
and wishing I were dead
Every second of that day
Wanting to let go
Of all that clam chowder
I tried to eat
The clam chowder sometimes
Spits back up at me
Even though it’s
Long digested
Its reminder
Is still
Physically
There
Waiting to
Come back
Up
When I will let it.
