"Most likely, not exactly."
After several months of trying to figure you out,
I asked your friends, “Can you understand him or is it just me?”
They cracked up laughing.
Wasn’t that you’re Liberian;
You’re just weird.

Kim Kasch 60/365

In Mrs. Perks’ second grade class, we huddled together to record in our writing “logs” that we had seen a “moov-e”. Neither of us could figure out how to spell movie. Moov + e = moove? Yes!

Roger Quick 59/365

You were the fastest runner in grade school.
Kiss Tag was invented so we could chase you.
Yours were the first sparkling blue eyes I’d ever seen.
Someone told me you died in high school—drunk driving?

Mrs. Zini 58/365

Taught me diamante poems and sentence diagramming,
Which I loved in equal measure.
Worked your road trip into the curriculum.
My life was falling apart,
But my brain was starting to come together
And words were the glue.

Don K. 57/365

Kelly’s dad.
But I thought it was funny that someone as small as you could be a dad.
You looked like Kenny Loggins
You used to zip up and down the road in your little blue Corvette.

Brett 56/365

The Prince of Organized, The King of Methodical, The Duke of Disciplined. I knew I would like working with you right away. We balance each other and make a great team. Please get out of there soon.

Harold!? Hoh, dear!
Oh, come on, Furny…!
PRAMS!
And I thought, well that’s scriptural.
Cookie Monster!
No, no, don’t do that to me.
Alright…war!
I’m taking the kids.
VCR.
A-cha-ooooh!
Go now, I must see you again.
