you smoked a cigarette while i cried. i fixed hard on the thread that let go of the button on your coat as you said, it's just time for us to part, baby... nearby kids were swinging, their laughs filling the cold air. a world away, i rose slowly from the bench and walked over to you, leaving one last kiss on your chalky lips. as i exited the park, i could have sworn the doughboy statue gave me a look of solidarity. he, too, gave his life during combat.
