the last time i dressed

the last time i dressed
up for you, we were
twenty-two
and unsure
of where we stood
with one another.
someone was playing
the piano on
stage, and, in the
dark, your
hand drifted
over. and then,
an entire
symphony.
only now
could we
recognize
the simplicity

these earplugs that have

these earplugs that have
been with me since day
twenty-three are now
retiring from the
business of protecting
my eardrums in
concert, like
bouncers standing
guard, checking for
decibels and noise.
the new ones still
have to wait until
the sun goes down
