All I Need to Know

Stacey

Mark drives the Mini over bridges,

the water under us

frozen and gray.

We pass sleepy summer towns,

boarded up

and hibernating.

The roads are lined with trees,

tall and stiff

as exclamation marks.

Mark’s face is completely closed,

his peppery stubble

dark and scratchy.

Way behind us, the rehearsal

is on, which means

I’m off the show.

On the back seat, my homework

lies untouched, my

marks are falling fast—

And in my mind the memory

of Mark’s affection

is fading faster.

Back home, my parents

are angry, begging

me to stay home.

Ahead of us, the mountains

are folded over,

brown and angry.

Under me, my fingers are crossed

as I pray we

won’t drive up them.
