Your Photos A Year Ago This Week

by Noah Kucij

Can you believe they brought that Ferris
wheel in on the bed of a truck? Do you notice
how teacups and elephants seem to hover
between the lips of kids? Could you picture

the pitch of the hill you’ve been over in the seasons
since three pigs raced in a ring? Your money
was on the clown-wigged one, your baby was all-bones-in
on the sow in the spacesuit. There she is

kicking up moondust round the final turn when
out of the rear comes the General, chubby blur
in ammo belt and camouflage. The year kind of went
like that. What ever happened

to the pearl-gray shirt you’re wearing here? The curl
behind her tilted ear? It’s either hair or smoke.
