Thirty-six years ago today, we had our first date.
Neither of us knew that "See you tomorrow" would turn into a lifetime.
This poem was written because of that one ordinary June night.
We’d been talking off and on for three months.
That June night back in 1990, as I was heading out to the club,
you showed up:
“I was coming to see if you wanted to go shoot some pool.”

Flew back up the stairs,
traded my club clothes for corner bar clothes.

We walked over to Slick Willie’s Family Pool Hall —
laughed, talked, had a few drinks, and played some pool.
I won a couple times… pretty sure you let me.

Back home, we made plans to see each other tomorrow.
And we’ve been part of each other’s tomorrow ever since.
