Boy, bye!

my son was maybe two / and i was pushing him in a stroller / enjoying the farmers market downtown long beach one friday / and ran into a man i knew / a man i thought i might want to know more / until he said / my son was very handsome / but his hair was really nappy / and if mine was like his / he understood why i cut it / and then i smiled the smile i smiled / and gave thanks / for feet to walk / away
