They're obsessed with social media and two-second dating
we talk about climate change and ski racing
they'll talk about what they're supposed to
we'll talk about the world's problems and what to do
they'll pretend they're all the same
we understand that they're playing a game
they look at their phones
let's look at the stars.
Posted in response to the challenge PAST CONTESTS – Teenager: In Writing.
Raincoat like the petals of a sunflower hangs to her knees
Glittery rainbow headband
That only keeps half her hair back
Shiny pink nails
Strawberry boots
Shy smile that makes you feel lucky you got to see it
If we got stuck
In an elevator
Would we have a real conversation
For once?
Could I make you laugh
If we were in an elevator
Would you trust
The little girl sat in her swing
blond curls the way they are before
you grow up the everywhere I don't care
it looks like my hair was woven from sunlight
a throne for a flower crown.
