Forget the has beens
The what-nots
The never weres
Forget the used to be's
Forget the time
Forget the place
The moment
Forget the color of her hair
Forget her handbag
Her shoes
The Mercedes she drove
30 years old
Rusting and paint flaking off
Forget her dog
The first one
Who died while we waited for the vet
And buried her (Daisy) in Golden Gate Park at 4 am
with an American flag
Forget the second one
Who was crazy and fun
(Stanley)
A man saw him at the beach and said
Hey, that's my dog
Not anymore, she said
