the weirdest conversation of my short time owning a phone

ASH BLUNT'S ROOM

maybelle Peterson, typing. . . 

the small screen stares up at me through the darkness of 2 am, 'how can she still be typing?' I wonder "she's been at it for three whole minutes now, I mean, how hard is it to say yes or no?' finally my phone emits it's weird little beep and I receive a message that's practicaly two miles long. "what the. . ." I trail off as I begin to read the text message that may or may not ruin my weekend. 

"dear ash, YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OH MY GOD I will totally go to prom with you!!!!

I look up at the wall and wonder what the hell just happened, I look back down at my phone and calmly considered what to say, 

me, typing. . . 

"um. . . so I didn't ask you to prom. I uh, I asked about the weekend knitting club, not sure how you read that wrong, and also I'm a girl. so yeah. . .

maryellen Peterson, typing. . .

"yes i know, I told my grandmother that you had asked me to prom so that i could distract her, give her false dates and go with somebody else. sorry you had to get mixed up in it, it's nothing to do with you I promise."
  
MAYBELLE PETERSON'S ROOM 
"oh my gosh, what am I doing?" maybelle asks slapping her forehead against the palm of her hand, 

maybelle peterson, typing. . .

"sorry, yes there are spots open, what time were you thinking of coming?"

ASH BLUNT'S ROOM

my phone lights up with a text, i flip over and reach my hand out, my fingers straining to reach the small piece of tech that my very life seems to depend opon, and read, and chuckle, and reply 

ash blunt, typing. . .
"anytime you have avliblities I'll be there."

maybelle peterson, typing. . .
well wer'e not the most popular club, so I guess whenever you feel like coming, you can pop on over."
  

MAYBELLE PETERSON'S ROOM

"wow, pop on over, I'm so good with words."  she mutters sarcsticly

    Looming over your shoulders

    Each stack higher than its former

    Every thought and every scrap

    Of an idea too scared to ponder

     

    Every moment that hurt

    Each minute that lingered longer

  • Inadequacy


    How do I push the words out
    From behind my taffy tongue 
    Thick with salty tears 
    And full of grubby thumb 


    I’m a child 
    Pretending that I’m numb 
    To escape the overwhelming feelings 

  • Paper Frogs

    Why

    When feet fall soft but quick 

    Does the hallway extend

    And the hot breath of whoever’s behind me feel hotter 

    Why do I stay pressed to the wall 

    Like a stubborn gruby sticker
