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

when we jumped in the pool, still in our clothes
it reminded me of water balloon fights,

'I am' Poem
When my teachers want to celebrate diversity they try to get us to write 'I am' and 'Where I'm From' poems. This is not something I oppose, but something is lost in the prompting. For them I write the easy apple cider explanations. For you?

If Only I Could Hug the Stars
If only I could hug
The stars;
Perhaps I could shatter them
And cup the shards
In my palms,
The cracks constellations
Aligning with my veins,
But that isn’t close enough
