I had a dream

I was at the high school

I couldn't carpool with a buddy

we were late

it was dark outside

I didn't know anyone there

I didn't know my schedule

I didn't know what was happening

if i ever own an orange car i will be delighted in being other people's

delight; playing the rainbow car game

on long drives without ever making it past red

is never a good idea.

My mom doesn’t hold my hand on the airplane anymore.

Not during taxi, takeoff, turbulence or touchdown.

some people say that every time you make a choice, an alternate dimension is created where you made a different one

this may or may not be true in the real world, we might never know

it's certainly true in my mind

But at least I

still see the everlasting stars

sparkling in my eyes and

the constellations that connect them

to me.

I learned early how to take up less space,
walking on the balls of my feet
so the floorboards wouldn't groan.

I thought love was a transaction—
a prize for the cleanest room
or the highest mark.
