Post
I know you went running
yesterday
and your kids had a great
first day of school
picture, anyway,
I wore overalls too
but everyone will think
I was copying you
won't they didn't they

Enough
We'll march with cardboard signs
rainbow letters pretend
that we're happier than we are
because we understand
the depth of this hole we've dug ourselves
into
the fire we've fed

Not just mud season
High of fifty four degrees
That was yesterday
T shirt skiing and I packed shorts
In the bottom of my backpack
High of twenty seven
That’s today
Maybe a t shirt
Later
But I walked to the mailbox

Sugar Moon
We ate a pint of Ben and Jerry's
together
in the back of your mom's car
that's what friends are
for
and then we skied
when the sun set
and the stars rose
and

When You Are Old
When you are old
Your skin will become like paper,
And your bones will be like the wooden ribs
Of a lantern
So that the world will see the light in your chest.
But I don't need to wait -
Crush
Sometimes it's hard to write poetry
It's almost like the words get stuck
in the folds of my mind before they reach the paper
Or maybe I just can't describe
memory

Even If
sing even if you sing badly; dance even if you dance horribly; write even if you write terribly; love even if you are bad at it.

Love
Both love and hate are free, and easy
But love makes people feel good;
Make people feel good.

It's Time
Honestly, it’s hard to believe that as I’m writing this, lounging here in a big bus (treat from Iteam), I’m completing four weeks in Guatemala. I had no idea I would be able to do this trip. My brain was full of fears.
