The way he laughed and how he shook his head
I was young and in love
I smiled and looked up from my book
and he said
remember that camping trip we went on
middle of summer
how crazy it was
tent leaked the first night
and we thought we heard bears
spent hours the next morning trying to catch trout
that old-timer told us
stop using bait you buy in the store
use corn he said
and we ate rainbow trout for dinner that night
the day after that we went to the caverns
stalactites and stalagmites all lit up in colors
and Jeremy our guide
asked what we saw in the limestone formations
and people said animals
mountains and trees
one guy said a nativity scene
the whole trip was crazy
remember he said
and I smiled and replied
crazy alright
shook my head
went back to my book
and wondered whoever
wherever she was
if she was in love
and if she remembered.
