I forgot I’d even known his name & definitions
My new name is Lucy, see,
its written on my Starbucks cup
(large, black, a skinny girl wearing a thick coat,
singing) I remember Mama & my new name is Lucy,
my old name is saw
dust on the basement floor—a miniature chair & table.
Matt Aizenstadt drove his car with the windows down all the way and the heat on full blast— Norwell, Massachusetts—
Matt Aizenstadt smoked cigarettes and thought about swinging a bat. (swinging, practice, swinging, polo, marco, polo) on the fourth of july, green sloped on a hill and today
when my new name is Lucy, & I’ve just remembered today it felt
up to the plate and swinging.
