Mary Mary
do you remember mary?
rolled in vanilla
her brown dress slit up the side
she could make us spill our guts
all her different flavors
“set the mood Mary”
are you feeling blue? berry
or plain? jane
-maybe grape
like the twilight
like bruises when they’re still fresh
she’d join us most nights
when we were younger
chasing her around town
speaking low in the phone, say
“Take me on a ride mary,” now the moons out.
come and sit on this pile of blankets in the garage and tell me about your day
tell me about your whole life
but keep your voice down my parents are sleeping.
You.
are as sweet as mary
with your not so silent laughter
puffing out your cheeks
everything is funny when you are with me


Pass it on x
I like your Mary Jane; well done
