Connecticut

When she was here, Li Bo, she was like giddy wizardry
Like marshmallows and fireworks
Like plaid and stripes united
Like silly string and breezy warm days
She was a wall to lean on, and umbrella in a storm
And the perfect mutual acquaintance.

Now she's gone, it's like Diet Dr. Pepper
Like ice cream eaten on a cold day
Listening to Nick Drake--
Like the novice crew team.
