Mimi in the Margins

Mimi You laugh with your whole face Spill coffee on my notebook

Circle hearts around my name You drag me out on gray days

Bare feet on the hallway tile Steal my sweater Roll your eyes But you keep

it for a while Mimi Say my name again

Like we’re sixteen in your kitchen Spinning on that faded floor Mimi

Pull me in too close Every time you touch my coat I remember what

my hands are for Mimi You talk through all the movies

Pause right at the best parts Just to tell me what you feel
