Anniversary "best of" poem of the day 06.12.14

pittsburgh like a postcard

full of wine and thai food

i ask you in november, 1997

what you’d like to do next

and you told me, whatever,

as long as it doesn’t involve you going one way

and me going the other

the instant when i knew loving you

would be a simple game of genius

played out in the first fall snow

that framed pittsburgh like a postcard.
