Concrete Poem Assignment

This is the tree that I used to lay under when I was

Younger, and time didn't seem to move as fast. Now every

body seems to always be in a hurry, and never takes the time to

Enjoy the beauties in life. Me and my neighbors used to sit under this

tree every summer day, after biking down to the Subway near our houses

And eat our sandwiches. It was probably the day following one of our trips

That we took part in during the nights. We would sneak out almost every night

during the summer and just walk around. We never feared getting in trouble 'cause

we were never doing anything that bad. Life was a lot more trivial back in those days

though. Back before high school, or college apps. Back before relationships or the

pressures that we would inevitably face in a couple of years. We just walked with

eachother, aimlessly watching the moon. We would always have stories to tell the

next day though. That's part of the reason we met under the tree so often.

We would talk about the car that was probably being driven by a drunk

guy, who could have swerved over and killed us. We'd talk about

how we thought that our parents were awake when we snuck

back into our houses and how they could have killed us.

We always had

that tree, though

and we always

had eachother.

It's sad that we

don't talk much

anymore, but I

am sure that we

will be together

again this year.

We'll have more

stories to tell and

our relationship will

grow again, as we lay

under the tree eating our

Subway sandwiches, and talking.
