Owed to Casey Joe
Two years gone. Nah…Not possible, is it?
Not much owed, really. Just a thanks. That’s all.
If not for that smile, that kiss, that push, that shove
I’d be nowhere—not here. So I owe you.
Hey, remember how quick you’d snatch away
My Polaroid‽ Every time! But once:
For Christmas you deigned. You took ‘em with you—
All but one. Geeeez, those bluestar sapphire eyes…
Remember that used bookstore? You picked out
cookbooks, a silly vampire novel
And you handed me Schell’s Fate of the Earth.
You said, Read this but don’t tell me the end.
You got that purple suit for the Prince show.
I got a night in Montreal for keeps.
Did we ever come close to getting ev’n?
Nah. I still owe ya. So I remember.
