I wish I was...
Beautifully sure of myself like Ae
Bouncy like M
Comfortable in my skin like L
Confident like N
Cool like T
Cute like E
Energetic like A
Fearless but never conceited like Aa
Funny like Le
Mature like Ao
Pretty like C
Quiet like S
Silly like O
Sophisticated like J
Sweet like P
Talented like Y
Relatable like Av
all these incredible girls' girls
almost-women
and I am not them
or like them
so all I see is jealousy
broken wishes
fractured pennies beneath the fountain.
Butterfly kiss, soft against my skin.
Promises.
Cyclone of feeling, enveloping not just me, but us.
Anticipation.
Honey-brown sunset eyes, on my green hazel.
Confessions.
First step:
Come up with an idea
something you spiral
circulate around
carve your name and your life into a treble clef
what inspires you?
Second step:
Google note patterns
I talked with this third grader on the bus
she asked to see my watch face.
I showed her and said,
"this is me and my boyfriend at a concert we played
at the Flynn"
are you still in love?
