DAILY POEM

Someday by Alison Malee

someday

they will name the streets

after us in every

suburban neighborhood.

people will know about our love

as normal

dinner table

conversation.

it will be a bedtime story,

campfire tale.

they will whisper

to each other

on buses and planes.

in offices, at bars,

in hotel rooms,

on first dates.

they will say

we were the ones

who made it.

see, did i not tell you:

in some way,

we will always linger.
