For the Class of 2009
tell me where to find
shriveled petals of high school dances
are they in snapshots on closet doors
or in sky blue photo boxes
shriveled petals of high school dances
the yearbook page she made you
from a sky blue photo box
with x’s and o’s
the yearbook page she made
we’re so proud of you
punctuated with xoxo
and corners of mouths upturned
we’re so proud of you
the promise of future diplomas
and corners of your mouth upturned
you hold the world in your mind
with the promise of this diploma
it is in the snapshot on your closet door
you held the world in your mind
I’ll tell you what I find
