promises promises.
the way he explained it sounded easy.
another city another name
a fresh start away
no more of the snake eating its tail
billy, he don’t ask questions
too young I expect
to miss any of this
but the kid surprised me
with his memory
called us by our old name
more than once after I told him
he must never ever
he missed the old apartment
he said
missed his old room and toy cars
I’ll get you new cars I said
better than those old ones
you can play all day and not even miss them
