Semper Fidelis

motorcycle tires mourn softly on gritty spring streets
hey you growing up
what do you want to be
nineteen is not enough
I feel older today
understand the lines of people
flags
dogs
cars
cameras
tears
press pools
blogs
wall posts
I tell everyone I am linear
these lines confuse me
My favorite color is red
No NOT that red
Not fluttering red with white and blue banners and black arm bands and yellow bows
That kid comes from our old hometown
but thank god not from my house
my house counts its members
Here
Here
Here
Here
People are lining the streets of Voluntown
Always Faithful
