The Second Alley
Mrs. Craywood
her curls needed cutting
instead she dyed them black
she could have washed her face
but she brushed on dark eye shadow
to hide her eyes
she used to think they were
pretty.

Just Like Them
We'll lie on the floor
You're wearing the yellow hat I gave you
I'm wearing pajamas
We'll facetime and pretend
We're not just like them
We're not
Are we

Fashionably Early
Everyone could make excuses
for when the bears showed up late
to the party
fashionably late
they called it
but when the bears came early
no one
could explain the questions
away.

Just Like Us
They're obsessed with social media and two-second dating
we talk about climate change and ski racing
they'll talk about what they're supposed to
we'll talk about the world's problems and what to do

blow out your candles.
make a wish.

tonight the fireworks spell R E S I S T.
your hair's in pigtails braided red blue and white.

Fourth of July?
This year I didn’t lay out an outfit for the fourth,
This year I wore all blue
I didn’t want to represent the other side,
Not today.
This year we didn’t go to the parade

We Watched the Sunset Upside-Down
With hair dripping,
Splashed with the stars
Not yet visible to our eyes,
We jumped,
Dived,
Splashed into the pathway
Of sunlight

fourth of july and i have to remind myself that
they're scared.
that's it.
they: shout misspelled arguments in all caps send soldiers to peaceful
protests yell into microphones turned all the way up shut down dissent

Dear Congressman,
Dear Congressman,
The provisions of this bill are concerning, to say the least.
