It was a history that never had been

Luke Perry worked in a clothing store
that sold flannel shirts
and dresses made from lace.
Some friends and I would take ourselves there
when it got time for closing
and sit with him as he swept the floors.
Once he was done
he would turn off the store lights
and we'd all lay by the t-shirts
and laugh about things that weren't funny.
He'd wear a white vest
and look at me sometimes
so I could see that I made him happy.
I would always smile back.
