'I liked the game,

the chorus of the crowd,

the hot salted popcorn we would share.'

Love the roll of these lines Adam

Thank you! Those were the lines I struggled with in this poem, so thank you for calling them out. I'm glad they spoke to you. :)

This is such a rich poem. The smell of cigars reminds me of my dad.

Thank you, LeeAnn :)

Yes, the power of scent to pull the past into the present is really something, isn't it?
