Us in 20 Years

Sofia Skuza Rivera

At some point, you will mention me

 

Maybe while you are washing the dishes,

Or on the drive to pick up your kids after school

Maybe it was in the elevator as you left work

 

You mentioned me

 

You told a story,

And for the first time in a couple weeks—

Months

You thought of me

 

 

I mentioned you that day too

      And the week prior

Or maybe it was even twice

 

I mentioned you
