us- part two

(continued)
if you missed the first part you can find it here: part one

six months or so later;
i am at our high school wrestling state tournament
(farmer boy was a state champion)
& my brother is now participating.

he walks up to me in the hotel where we
are staying for the tournament
and just smiles at me.

now, what did i noticed about farmer boy that day?

it was not;

his dimples,
his cleft chin,
his blue eyes,
his muscles...

it was;

his mouth.
he had the greatest smile
with these big white teeth.
& one of those front teeth
happened to have a chip in it!

he smiles that smile
& as he walks away

my heart stumbles a little bit more

when i get home from the
state tournament;
he calls me again for coffee.

i of course say:
yes!


continue with part 3 and part 4
