Freshman Year, EHS 1983 ~ 2014.6.21

Dear Minnie Mouse, 

Please forgive me for stealing you away,

inside your friend's bedroom, where we made out

like bandits on her bed, while the party

out in the living room was a soirée

to remember with guests in Halloween

costumes. I will never forget the cloud

of happiness I rode back home. Hardly

a day goes by since that one fateful night

thirty-two years ago, (like a low beam

the light travels below the fog of time), 

I don't look in the crystal ball to see

why it is I broke off our chance to date

or go steady. I told your friend a lame

excuse, and said some things I regret, pity.

Yours sincerely, 

Mohandas K. Gandhi
