Vacant lot, some kids were playing
behind your building in Jamaica Plain
We sat out on your balcony & watched them
while we sipped your coffee & cigarettes
You said “Keep me company down on Armory”
Hiding away
feels like a lifetime
The winter came & we were covered
in heavy, sopping-wet, grey, urban snow
Your breath-cloud & your gaze would hover over me
You took my hand & showed me where to go
& then you said so “Keep me company down on Armory”
Hiding away, feels like a lifetime
Promises made stay in Jamaica Plain
Is your door locked?
Is your roommate home?
Are the windows up
on your vehicle?
Hiding away, feels like a lifetime
Promises made remain in Jamaica Plain
