5-CD Changer

I walked over to Diane's house
to pick up a CD player she was getting rid of
so you could listen to your collection
after your parents' old one broke
I didn't know she lived so close by
downsizing, she said

it was much bigger than I expected
I had brought a knapsack
but it wasn’t even close
a 5-CD changer!
I was happy to carry it home the 4 or 5 blocks
good exercise, and I wanted you to have it
normally this is the kind of this you might do for me
bear a literal burden, like offering to carry my bag

it was so nice to talk to Diane
having not seen many friends
in almost a year
she and I chatted about our friends
performing in the feminist hologram concert that night

we went for a walk after dinner
and just as we were almost home
a snowflake fell on your eyelash
