Ki A Gray Poet Concrete

Goodbye Paige Goodbye Kate

Oh Kate
You never told me
It a grey feeling
Just a dismal hunch
Pretty Kate
Sweet Kate
Always there

Yes Kate
A gift for thee

There for Bram Flakes
There for schmear
There for ersatz food
Yes Kate

You taught me how
To enjoy ersatz food
Without grimacing

You were there.
We scarcely spoke.

I saw you poor
I tried to help you.

Forever high school Kate.
Pink monkeys and lingerie
Forever senior prom
Your eyes on the money.
Yes Kate

I shall miss you.

Texas friend, oh Kate.
Goodbye to the Lone Star.

Surfing and bodyboarding
The great white shark and Kate
Wondered what you did
California Kate the swimsuit lady
I forgave you for the drndls
With the cut outs - you made bikinis
You the confused friend, the lost sister
Kate oh Kate - goodbye.
