Cali has a green VW bug.
Cute.
Fun.
Perfect.
Like Cali.
I was going to work
so I could but a car
when I turn sixteen
on August 15th.
Oh well.
All the things that
used to be important
aren't important
anymore.
"We haven't been to the mall together in a long time," Cali says.
"Yeah.
The last time I was there, Jackson bought me--"
I stop.
I look out the window.
There's an old man
with an old woman,
sitting on a bench,
waiting for the bus.
He's looking at a newspaper.
She's looking at him.
She says something.
He looks at her.
He smiles.
She smiles.
The scene is so simple,
so lovely,
so perfect.
"It's okay to talk about him," Cali says.
"I know."
"What did he buy you?"
I don't want to say.
But she asked.
"That black-and-pink bikini.
To wear to the School's Out party."
She nods.
She remembers.
If she had known
it would bring up
that tragic day,
she wouldn't have asked.
She shakes her head.
Turns the radio up.
I guess sometimes
it's not okay
to talk about
him.
