Prep
School
Ties
and
dress
shoes.
Dress
pants
no
slacks.
I
remember
touching
foreheads
with
you
on
the
swing
set.
Wood
chips
at
our
feet
we
would
whistle
the
Music
Man
together
and
talk
about
90’s
TV.
But
that
tie
was
considered
a
sacrifice
for
you.
Hoodies
and
baggie
jeans
every
day
you
weren’t
in
school.
Until
the
day
you
changed
into
pint
stripe
pajamas.
