POEM: tracks

6095718509_e879b9e397_z

tracks

we sat on a low wall
telling ghost stories
waiting for a train
that never came

walked home
behind the sleeping houses
with their backs
to the silent tracks

at the apartment
there was fresh berry pie
with dotted butter
still warm from the oven

we listened to Yeasayer
stared like new parents
at a lava-lamp cat
on the patio

the cat wasn’t worried
about the future
or the past
smart cat
