I personally love

Mary Oliver's

Dog Songs

the way she captivates 

the little dog

in poems 

in books

and in heart

the way the poetry flows

last year,

I did a school debate 

of why 

trans athletes should be able to play in sports

I lost

and I cried

because my teacher

let us pick topics

Streets of Minneapolis by Bruce Springsteen 

is so hard to watch when comments

are sobbing about seeing renee's face

or alex pretti's

with flowers piled up and ice agents shooting
