New Year's

"Happy New Year!"

"I got a little lost; can you show me the way?"

"Inauguration day is just around the corner!"

"Welcome to eleventh grade. You're almost out!"

"Hi, my name's what's your name? 

"Can he really do the things he's talking about?"

"I'll call you tonight, I promise."

"Another win for the Eagles!"

"I'll do it tonight, I promise."

"What's your name? Say your name for the camera, I'm a reporter."

"No justice / no peace."

"You have to know these things to graduate."

"If you don't practice enough, you'll never get your licence."

"Hey, can you help me? I got lost in those bright things on the ceiling."

"Shop at Target!"

"If you stay awake all night, you'll never be awake enough to practice."

"Surely, he can't do what he says he's gonna do."

"I'd stay awake with you all night, if you wanted."

"Second half of eleventh grade. We're almost out!"

"Here comes the sun / doodoodoodoo."

"Pass me the sugar."

"Hey, I got a little lost. I need more time."

"We're almost out!

"He's a good kid, his head's just stuck in the clouds."

"They're good kids; their heads just got stuck in the sky the wrong way

 

, and now there are stars burning in them."

    All I've Got

    The cardigan that my grandma wraps me in when I am cold; 

    Dusty piles of cards from someone who loves me; 

    Computer overheating with a two-thousand-million-word PDF scrapbook;

    The Sweet Escape

    When I was a little younger than I am now, 

    I went home after school and wrote until bedtime.

    That was enough to take me into the stratosphere. 

    I'd play in the cloud for hours and hours.

    I will tell you what I remember from high school, and I will tell you how you can follow in my sinful and lowly footsteps, that your blood might be as holy as mine.
