there you stood skipping stones off the dock and breaking your watch to stop the time. or maybe to stop the trains, dead in their tracks, that no longer pass through our hometown. the summer, as you said, sure went too quick.
quicker than the fireflies we grew up chasing, and quicker than their blinking backs and quicker than the insults rolled off yours. you got older and spent time closed-captioning your imagination, stunt-doubled over in laughter. entire saturday mornings huffing paint in your grandfather's garage instead of playing with us in the park.
i always thought you were beautiful, through all of the bad times. the worse you got, the sadder we all got for you. more distance was created, you became so skinny you stopped getting your period. but punctuation breaks up sentences and you were already broken up anyway.
