101

walk away, now.

leave behind your memories
in trinkets on the fridge -

a chocolate wrapper, long forgotten
a photograph, worn at the edges
a bill, for coffee and a book
a parking ticket, and its unfinished song.

but whatever you do, don't forget
to take your smells with you -

some beer, some whiskey
some food, some mint.
old books, cinnamon tea
is that you, or is that me?
