You Have Stolen My Air Catcher

By Trevor Reimer '22

September 2019

I chased you through

the Palmerton streets

night and day.

Yet when I said those words,

they meant nothing to you.

Why is that?

House to house.

With your friends

and none of mine.

We went trick or treating

up and down Lehighton roads.

At the end of the night,

I asked if we could share.

"Yes, why not?"

I bet you say that

to all the girls.

Months went by

and we didn't talk.

Finally, on a cold November day,

you beckoned me back to you

and I agreed.

I couldn't believe your words.

How could you do that?
