Would I recognize you
all these years later
friend from childhood's last days?
From bottomless time playing Atari
and banana seat bicycles
riding over cracked sidewalks
late into summer nights?
How have you aged, with a
dad-bod belly and a receding hairline?
or are you just divorce-worn,
living alone
except every other weekend?
What have you become,
what with your skills at Space Invaders
and your facility with the Rubic's Cube?
If you saw me,
would you know me?
Would we pull out two Huffy's
from behind the shed of memory
and pedal off together once more
by the blue glow glory of the street lamps?
