Sven and Olga and a Little Bit of Me

Thanks for all the fish. – Douglas Adams

when a child myself still
left for swedish mom and pop
posttraumatic children with hard candy
love with bears like it was coastal
it was our halcion days with pink pills
and this was our memorandum
we did not think betrayal
and story went for story
acid pumped from our systems
felonious purchases and misnamed
trust in the time of mistaken identity
our loose grips and golf course geese
canned responses we have today
turn over in burned out cars
