"1996-2007, 42-1"

[CRNDLSM]

The punctuation bothers me, you've capitalized the first word of every line but not the one word that actually follows a sentences ending (question mark).  I think it gives me too much freedom to misinterpret pauses. The story I think is too good to deserve this treatment.

The drawbridge, of her bikini
Half pulled-down, to that round fully tanned cheek I like the line breaks
To cheek, no tan lines on her tush cheek-to-cheek as a noun very nice
Where I put you, but now I must ask where I put you on the tush?

Where did you go, caterpillar? of her and my 16 I like caterpillar as a pet name (Alice in wonderland) 16 as a noun makes me think age.
When you went on the long distance walk,
Along my beer bottle's rim, in the park,
Across my hand when I lifted you,
To that connector road of nylon and polyester connector road of clothing material?

I knew joy, as we stripped,
And ran, to the water's edge walking along a beer bottles rim to running naked to the edge of water.

There was a graininess to the sand,
Like it would take a long time to go
Through an hour-glass, perhaps get stuck
Making Lake Tahoe timeless, lake Tahoe must be the setting because sand is the smallest thing I remember about those beaches

To be cherished in dividends Why dividends? 
As we returned each summer and winter

It reminded me of when we were 13, flashback in the middle of a flashback? My 16 
When we decided to jump, clothed, into the Pacific
For continuing traditional last cross country practices;my favorite line I don't know why
We had dated three times, during the duration 
Of middle school Do people date in middle school?

Now, I remember you by going to the negative
Space of where we were, because I still do hold
Those places holy, and I do need reason, 
When looking back on our departuresI don't think this strophe adds anything, makes things more confusing

Butterflies are free, they say, and you are
Married and living in someplace where we
Never went, and the chaos of having known you
is less like the Pacific, and more like Tahoe to the Pacific, is this where she moved to

The aquarium, famed where you are,interesting, an aquarium can still be chaotic
Down in Monterey, where I dare not venture.love it
The cost of admission is not worth it.back to dividends, I think the cost has less to do with it than the negative space of memory

I do still call, maybe once every six months,
And you answer about half those times once a year? I like how you put this
It's apparent that we've learned to stick starting with it's rarely a good move, how about 'apparently, we've '
To watching the waves, instead of trying

To measure our weight against the water.good line breaks, and the last line has a lot of feeling to it, you can only watch in an aquarium, but you wouldn't go anyways,  because of the cost.

11 years,  42-1, I don't get the title but I don't have to, the story is very good with lots of (what's an inside joke thats not a joke) and 42 is the answer so, don't know what else to say, I hope I helped
