179

You lived in my neighborhood before
I did.
You already knew about the secret alleyway
and why Mrs. Lester has a brick wall around her yard-
I didn't even know that.

I can barely find my way out of your neighborhood.
The streets all curve and every house is the same
to me, except for yours.

Before I lived here you buried your baseball cap
in the park around the block that I walk by every day.
I don't think you think about it much anymore.
