“Remember that corner?”



of course I do,

how could I ever forget

every single time we drive past it

she reminds me



that’s the corner

where my fist

connected with your face

and I ruined your favourite dress



that’s the corner

where I put my head through

the drivers side window

of my own car



that’s the corner

where I threw away

every single one of my keys

and made the ridiculously stupid

statement

that I was leaving for Detroit

to smoke crack and kill people


that’s the corner

where for as long as I live

you have every right

to remind me of.
