The road stretches.
I passed Syosset
which I’m pretty sure
is where your uncle used to live.
I wonder how he is.
I wonder about you.
I wonder what it’s like for you
where you are now
and if there’s a place for me
and if your uncle still visits
and if he talks about that time
I just stopped by
and if he ever got that saber replaced.
I know you’ve got other things going on
with other people
and other schedules
but I thought it was worth mentioning
that I was thinking about you
and your uncle
and those Thursdays
and I just got out of Syosset
and the road stretches ahead.
