Six Notebooks

A young woman, a teen, high school senior

Perhaps, in a tall chair at a

Table, Starbucks by the river

Dancing her arms as

Her young man walks over

With coffee and a pastry

Smile across her face

And its cliché really, not her

But what I think

To be young again

With all that hope

With that young love

Where everything

Is perfect and going to get

More perfect

Watching her pull out the chair

Sit down

Dance in that seat and smile

As he brings a coffee

And a pastry

With the whole world

Opening
