All the things I miss

when checkers first opened
the blue striped couch at dave and jean's
all day in the booth
lenny and robyn on the PA
singing in the dark to no one
songs I only know the beginning to
nicole in shaw plaza
morning french
guitars with wes and tuller squared
music by the pottery wheels
evening in the breezeway after a concert
a practice room and headphones
sex in the music library
in the back of my truck
walker bitch living next door and bringing a birthday cake for dessert at quenten's
chris is gay
beer bottles on the crown molding
lunch with little boat
a hat and umbrella
smokes in the lounge between studios
end of crew loading dock
the fan in the upstairs window
mimi laughing at morphine
blanco's falafel by camp stove, in a fogged out A7
leaving the rope from the window
a quarter bag after new years, sick on the couch, jackson at my feet
christmas trees and spongebob
northern exposure no commercials a pack of reds and tall icehouse
buckets of chicken and car parts'
400 some odd bottles of bad table wine
the new four track and the the duck lamp
discs in the back yard doing laundry
fucking caroline in your bed
a kiss on top of pe
honey on your crotch and wearing your underwear
secret phone calls and home made cards
stroking your leg and the ceramic buffalo
footsie at 247
johnny smoke sitting at my desk
or figuring dip switches
a new office and chips chair
erin's comic shop
hours at selector
music with phil
darts
sunday morning hang over pizza bong dairy queen basketball
a red phone under glass
hiding from paula
living with vaughn
painting schaffer stoned
breakfast with paul
say ra's angelic face
troy's watery ant solution
jason and trans am
j-ho's fire pit, beer in a cooler
church with meredeth and mimi
falling for a bull dyke set to allison krauss with baconated mac and cheese
jim beam and pepsi
finding vern asleep on our porch
a wall of molsen golden
and ward living at howard's
building that garage
beer from jay's
and a montery cheese steak
sam's thesis show
drafting in the ice, with an ounce
saved by our movie star friend ezra
even if troy threw up in the back yard
shrooming with john and the baptists
bloody christ and all
6 8's and a nutcracker, scooter's last stand
katie and luke, mirror on my bar
a dwarf christmas tree
backer's club before intermission
opening night, all the shrimp and chicken nuggets you can eat
pearl's nose in my face
and sitting next to elizabeth
Chinese hotel waking up with Sarissa
bi ju with john
joe's containers of comics
and the pile of mail on our table
moving you to Tallahassee
sex on a wicker couch
the day you came home and our special place
watching tv in the bedroom with pizza
moving in day in the rain
opening all our presents after
surprise birthday parties
joe and ginny
microwave popcorn, old granddad
the voice of west virginia
living in little house
the faucet that always dropped
skipping class to get drunk with ray
mcguire's with the smartest man I ever met
i learned chords from you
and the jew at the beach after graduation and 15 shots
missing jennifer
back of the bus under her shirt
a box full of letters
