AN EVALUATION

December 28, 2021 / John Grimmett

When you’ve come to an end,
there are so many things you remember:

Rooftop meals.
Hot dinner rolls.
Cool water on a summer day.
Your first apartment.
A taste of champagne.
His kiss.
Her smile.
Chocolate.
A hug to make you feel less alone.
Rain on a tin roof.
The breeze through wind chimes.
Light on a ceiling from three to five.
Watching the buildings pass in a taxi at night.
Laying in snow.
New car smell.
How you tried to keep warm.
How you tried to make changes.
How everyone tried their best.
How everyone kept trying.

It could have been happier.
Maybe it was.

Maybe you missed it.
Maybe you saw all you needed to see.
