She skipped a grade, he flunked out of boarding school
and so, they met as sophomores, feral and edgy

sad blue eyes and the small of her back.
Her bright yellow dress feeling stiff and new
like their first slow-dance.
Matthew lives in Maine near a lake. He is very fortunate and sometimes lucky. He wishes our world was a happy place.
