I think that this drawing conveys a mood that may be more somber than our generation is now, but also shows a mood that we have experienced and a time and place we have been that I think defines us more than we may all see. I can see effects of the pandemic often in our life, even if it’s not as clear as it is in this drawing.

We used to be seven
My curls used to be sunshine
Colored
You used to be stubborn
Naive stubborn.
The powder used to hit our knees
On the days
When we could eat lunch in four bites
It’s:
twisted
crinkled like
the leaves
they’re frail now,
on the edge
of not there.
scrolling photos
feverishly
There are days when I fall asleep wondering about the line between stupid and brave.
Brave
Is a hero rushing into battle
Ready to fight
For their passion
Stupid
Is a hero rushing into battle
