Forgotten
Whisked away,
In a dark unknown.
Long fingers pull us out.
Scrutinize.
We’re unlaced,
Laced again,
Step by step we thud against the ground.
White turns to gray,

1920 days
192o days
Until the next election
Each day a struggle
1920 days of living
In this place
How many laws and bills can be made
In this place
How many people can get hurt
How many people will cry

a lesbian couple on my bus home from school
a man in a punk battle jacket on the street
my mother's female CEO group chat blowing up
four of my teachers taking the following day off

Shoes
The shoes
The ones I got for Christmas in 8th grade
The shoes I wore every day
Even when they started to rip
And were no longer new lookiing
The shoes I wore to every event

A life time
I remember the day you picked me out,
A shimmer on your wrist, young and proud.
The world was bright; you were full of dreams,
With laughter and plans bursting at the seams.
