O Emmanuel
You are no April Fool
Meet me by the railroad tracks
on a Wednesday after school
Call out names you do not know
Come peer through the chain link fence
Take ladybugs from my fingers
and come to know me thence
Tear a page out from my sketchbook
Sharpie the likeness of your face
Promise you spray paintings of
robots from outer space
You have everything ahead of you
As the sun sets you walk home
Who knows if you'll remember me
Who knows who you'll become
