New York 11 

hey, i found this picture the other day. 
remember?  me at the stables at my 
uncle's ranch in petaluma.  i was 
four and on my first trip to california. 
you kept it right beside your bed for 
years -- because you wanted to tell 
people we'd been childhood friends 
and grown up together -- that we'd 
shared the same horses, loved the 
same dog, danced the same dance, 
and sung the same songs together. 
but when i started going with robbie, 
you took it out of the frame and hid it. 
here it is again.  but where are you?
