Poem for Stephanie
Linnea Cooley
When I see
my ex-girlfriend Stephanie
at the farmer's market
I drop my vegan smoothie
and it spills all over
the grass
Stephanie
is wearing garnet earrings
has a cloth body bag slung over her shoulder
spies a particularly ripe apricot in the corner of the produce wagon
Oh shit! I think I love her
She walks by and
I whisper,
☆ Stephanie ☆
☆ Stephanie ☆
☆ Stephanie ☆
