I saw you out the window; my room was full of smoke
As you crossed the outlines in the parking lot. I counldn't wait - \And there was always more. More for when you got off
From the video store with old movies I had never heard of.
It was the first time that I watched Outside Providence
When you burned your parka with a cigarette.
I want to say it was the scene
With the water tower and the boys when we paused it
To go to the courtyard for a smoke and a cool breath
Of what winter on that plateau felt like.
I want to say that we never restarted the film that night.
I want to say that we were the last two people
To ever watch that copy of that film again.
