driving through
pittsburgh in june
heading back to the suburbs
to my parent’s home
from kris and anna’s place
where there was beer and poet talk
driving through pittsburgh in june
you and i
like we used to do all of the time
when we lived there
when it was home
all of those many years ago
three days before the doctors in brooklyn
would find the cancer in your breast
i wish maybe we’d taken it slower
not been in such a hurry to go back to my parent’s
maybe gone around to some of the old places
that we used to hang out
the streets that we’d filled with love
and a lot of other things
instead of me having you make wrong turns
because i no longer really knew the city of my birth
we could’ve had a late bite
at that old chinese restaurant
that we hated and loved so much
lingered outside your old apartment
the way i did right before our first date
done something starry-eyed in the city
where our romance bloomed then turned solid
oh honeybee
if only we had known
