018751 this was the lunch code I was given
My first day of third grade
My teacher wrote on my hand
With a green marker that smelled like berries
018751 this was the passcode for my first email
That my best friend made for me
Because that was the only set of numbers I could remember
For even though it was no longer written on my hand
It was still written in my brain
Etched
Each number

All that you must give
If you give her salvation
She will rest a long time
She will seek in you
What you can never find
If you give her your soul
She will be true
She will live and love -
Mother Nature
Let me go back to the mountains
Back to the trees
Back to the forest who once mothered me -
What is left?
When all we have is spent
What will we have left?
Like an animal that runs through the forestSearching for the last of its kind to go

I still use a variation of my high school ID card number as a password to this day (I'm 31)! Interesting to think about the ways in which we develop attachments and add meaning to such inconsequential things sometimes.
