I used to curse the snow

I used to curse the snow

used to fight every tradition about snow days

in denial

I would wake up early and get ready like I could

prevent it from happening

well the snow still fell

the roads still closed

the buses stayed locked in place

the doors didn't open

nothing I did would change that

I really thought it would sometimes

 

I used to love school

 

I used to look forward to my friends

used to enjoy the assignments

used to be such a Hermione

some people called me a know-it-all

and I didn't care

I took it as a compliment

 

Now I prayed for a snow day

did the whole thing

the spoon penny PJ's

look how it turned out

a day of maybes

a day without stress

one more day of the weekend

I need this

I wish it would last forever.

  • Festival

    Long day

    past where morning sun shines and into the dark huskiness of night

    fluorescent lights beating down 

    then flickering off

    a fanfare

    a reflection

    a redemption

  • Instincts

    Some things are just instinct

    like when I just ran to you

    as soon as I saw you

    and hugged you for -

    oh yeah -

    the first time

    very very platonic of course

    you're my big brother.

  • Flying solo

    Your solo is like sun shining through the clouds in my heart

    it's like a platonic ballad

    it's like you are playing

    through first loves

    and forbidden loves

    and grass in the summer

    and crunchy chips
