A SPOTLESS MIND by Aileen Arias

Spotless Mind by Aileen Arias

I picture us Walking through the carnival My left hand squeezed in your right While your left grips the teddy You promised you’d win for me.

You guide me through the sea of people That’s slowly swallowing us And muffling the sounds Of the screams and laughter That swim around us

You glance at me. You glance again. “Just makin’ sure I still got you.” You do.

You look back at me giving me a warm grin-The one you give me When I ask you “You got me?”
