Remember the old days 

When we’d 

Play outside until dark 

Hangout with the neighborhood kids 

When we didn’t 

If I have a daughter, I will name her 

Sylvia.

A big name,

A burgeoning hope.

Sylvia.

  i had a dream a night ago,

a dream i fell in love.

in love with a childish poet.

but it was strange,

not like any dream of love i've ever had.

it was in my school cafeteria,

he was new,

maybe one day i'll see you

at a class reunion 20 years in the future

you'll have gotten taller than i am in heels

your hair will no longer be curled and bleached but
