Dear Matt, MAG

   Far away.

I wonder if you are different.



Maybe you bleached

your black wavy hair

bright blond

like the dried ends of corn husks.



Maybe you lied,

to your new friends

about a nickname

and how they call you "Buzz"

or "Scout"

or "Jazz"

just to be different



I know

you and I

had a rough time of it here

because we

were so different

from the rest.



Maybe you just want

to drop

all you left behind

into a black hole

where the nothingness

of space

will swallow it whole

But I'm behind you too, now.



Give me, a Buzz

Scout me out.

keep in touch,

and all that,

Jazz.
