Miss Grass

i met you at starbucks.
crossing the street, zig zag, squinting into the tinted windows to see if you could
watch me
.

you took your break (starbucks!)
sat outside, shady stoop.
after your bike accident you had band aids all over your legs.
I sat with you, touching your bruises to see how badly they all hurt.

it's a good thing to know; how badly one can bruise.
