Oh ADU

Oh ADU

Oh ADU, 5 years have flown by, now I must bid you adieu. 

From stoner to sober, going back to school, it’s time to go off to grow anew. 

To Dan & Anne, thank you for your kindness, love, support, 

I’ll miss helping edit the yard, & past rapport. 

To Adam Thomocochukson, thank you for back to back shelter & security, 

learning to blend our differing qualities cultivated both our maturity.

Your picky ass eating habits, contrasting views of life & love, 

that Everything is Awesome outlook, gentleness like a dove.

Fireball fueled times going mobile, saving someone during the Eclipse, very noble. 

Daunting switchbacks listening to Floyd, late night treks to TB, 

hoping Cinnabon Delights might fill the void. 

Blossom couldn’t have said it better,

 “there’s no doubt, you still love me, you’d still love this incomplete”. 

I know you are always Somewhere Out There, 

living carefree, always & forever, my Soul Buddy. 

To Erik, you blue-eyed, big booty slug, with a heart second to none. 

Thank you for always making the ADU cozy & fun. 

Teaching me about terrariums & solving DC puzzles, 

getting lost in Bella Organic Farms corn mazes, & horror movie snuggles. 

Home cooked meals, & your ridiculous portmanteaus,

 insects saying, “You killed my mom”, watching murder mystery shows.

Never stop loving, whole-heartedly with grace,

just like ol’ Blue Eyes said, “when you find yourself flat on your face, 

always pick yourself back up & get back in the race”. 

I love you & wish for the best each & every day,

though apart, That’s Life, but no matter what, You’ll Be Okay. 

To Matthew, & your lingering stares from across the front end. 

Thank you for thoughtful observations, seeing my clothes drastically needing a mend. 

As sang by Abigail Morris, “Even when the cold comes crashing through, 

I’m putting all my bets on you”. Thank you Matthew for all the things you do, 

helping me move from the ADU.

Despite your dislike of condiments, if you were one, you’d be classy, like Gray Poupon, 

while our time & your verse thus far is short, it has only just begun.

Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, you stubbornly sweet fuckers,

like visiting the doctor, you each deserve suckers. 

Thank you for putting up with me in the ADU, 

I love you.
