(30) memories of (4) people i remember waking with my arms in my sleeves because i slept on the couch by the window when we stayed up too late drinking and dancing i remember taking turns on who got to put in the next album. we each had such wonderful lists of things to put on. i remember your long monologue about how modest mouse was like the grateful dead i remember walks through tennis courts talking about how nice the hawaiin sun is i remember sitting on the playground talking about what had needed talking about for so long i remember sliding a notebook through your car window while you worked i remember picking up the book with your scrawled notes about whatever came to mind i remember finding your mind so fascinating i remember indian food on hangover mornings i remember that skirt with the sequins i remember finding sequins all over the house for a year afterwards i remember how we could exist in the same room without feeling the need to talk i remember sitting beneath the lights in late-night coffee shops laughing about everything i remember starlight phone calls to tell me about some random detail of your day i remember crayons on tabletops i remember the last time i saw darla play i remember your secrets i remember the afternoons spent watching you work i remember dark beers in dark bars i remember long drives to don cab i remember going to pick you up at work with a drive-thru cup full of beer waiting for you i remember incense in the evenings i remember you waking me with midnight confessions i remember you not being allowed around me i remember coffee and books i remember circles around the parking lot and phone calls on cell phones i remember buying you a buckley record and never giving it to you i remember remembering you i remember remembering you remembering me i remember there's always a candle burning
