Planning
Every day
Every chance that is given
Scheduling
Organizing RSVPs
Bugging people to respond.
Talking to the caterer -
We can have bourekas after all -
And studying
Writing the speech
Studying more
And more
And more.
Trying to revive the wilted playlist
Making lists on docs of supplies
Of the food we want
On
And on
And on
Nonstop planning
For something that I never wanted.
It was what, four and a half weeks ago?
sometime after school ended
I wanted to stay for the whole time
I brought snacks for everyone
bagel chips and hummus
I'm running
I'm flying
my legs move
back and forth
forth and back
on
and on
and on
faster
faster
the air is avoiding me
I run from my chaser
endlessly
Underwater
it's nearly silent
incredibly quiet
all sharp sounds softened by the waves.
Underwater
all of the loud, nagging noises of life fades into a faint murmur
bearable for once.
Underwater
