Popcorn

"What's your favorite flavor?" 

My dad hands me an array of lollipops: 

Blue, pink, purple and orange, 

And I instinctively go for the orange one. 

In the gym

Three others are with me

I say:

“I will try to touch the rim!” 

“Alright!” Shouts one of the kids with me

I’ve kept every card I’ve ever received 

For as long as I can remember

People fade in and out of your life

Eventually lost in the past, forgotten

I read their letters after sunset
