Do you still listen to the Cowboy Junkies
on a worn out cassette?
You resisted technology, and many other things, despite your knack for them.
You have a son, I know.
He is 12 or 13 now.
Curses if he has your sad green eyes
instead of duffle bag blue, like your brother.
Certainly things would have worked out differently,
Your child would be 17 instead of 12.
The same age I was when I met you.
We might have caught my brother too,
with the earth brown eyes,
sad even when he smiled,
instead of watching him return to the ground at 20.
The same age you were when you met me.
