The fruit of Hearts-a-Burstin’ (Euonymous americana)
Entering the Friend Zone
You
Placed me
In the friend
Zone before we
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Uttered I love you
Now I don’t know how to be,
All tied up in irony
Knowing every day
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My friends hear from
Me the words
I love
You

Can you believe we won?
Second and third not first
We didn’t bet very much
We only bet when it’s for fun
*
While the funds won weren’t a ton
I always believed my luck cursed
Today we had the magic touch
Betting for the year – we’re done!
*
Ham sandwiches on a soft bun
Plenty of drinks to quench our thirst
Mint juleps and gin fizzes on the hutch
Best derby party? This is the one.
*
Can you believe we won?
Second and third not first
We didn’t bet very much
We only bet when it’s for fun.

Smiling Parents
Holding hands
In jean shorts and polo shirts
Walking just a few paces behind
Flowing gowns
Heeled shoes
Crisp tuxedos
*
New loves
First loves
Smiling laughing chatting arm in arm
Holding bouquets and hems of dresses
Taking selfies
Group shots
Posing proudly
*
Dodging daffodils
Compacting grass
Please don’t step on the flowers
Sir this is a public garden
Sparkly departures
Firm handshakes
Waving goodbyes
