Rachel from Alaska
Did those other girls ever catch up to ya?
Disregarding what your height was
You were so much better than the rest of us
Because your soul stood ten feet tall
And only seemed to grow each time ya hit the ball
William, wishful veterinarian
Were you ever diagnosed with autism?
We were the kings of morning recess
Roaring at anyone who dared come near us
Because your mind though somewhat strange
Was enraptured by every living thing...
Excluding humanity
To all my childhood friends
I know our time was well-spent
Because the details aren't clear
Still I think about you year after year after year
I know I don't know
Your last names or addresses
So the chances are slim at best
That I'll ever see you again
Where do the memories end
For all those kids I knew when I was ten?
