Popular Mechanics (Three)




Hard Quote (2 pts.)


“And the

night

illuminated

the night.”


Going Back To The Night You Made Me Swear I Loved You


That was

the night

I knew

I didn’t

love

you and

the night

I go

back

to again

and again

trying to

remember

the way

I said

it,

wondering

if the

sound

made

you know

too,

or if

the words

were enough

for you

then.


From A Yearbook (1996)


You asked

me to

sign

you yearbook

even though

you have

so many

of my

signatures

in notes

I wrote

you.

So I’m

faking my

handwriting

so when

you look

at this

when your

old

you’ll think

this was

how I

wrote

and those

notes you

have

were from

some other

girl.
