You Won't Believe This!

When I came home from school,

I found myself in shock.

The beds all gathered by the pool,

The couches stand round the grandfather clock.

There’s confetti everywhere,

and food all strewn about.

There’s armoires running here and there

until they all pass out.

The toaster’s jumping in the tub

as appliances holler “Stop!”

There’s forks and knives in every shrub

While napkins danced on top.

Though difficult not to double take

I felt a shiver up my bones

I then found myself lying awake.

In my bedroom, all alone.

  • Who I Am

    That’s me,
    second from the right,
    the one awkwardly scratching her chin,
    the one spacing out so far
    Major Tom couldn’t pull me back in.
    I'm the one who’s not swinging,
    or texting, or chatting.
