Coco

I can't wait

To grow up and see

Every

Single

Opportunity

That no one

Will ever

Give me

Because I'm a kid

I haven't had experience

But only because

I've never had

A chance

I glare across the counter from my spot nestled between the folds of the brown paper bag. Stupid Gala is doing that thing again, as she has every single day, for the past, I don’t know, week?

Four buzzes 

Wake me up, 

Loud in the quiet 

Dark. 

A seconds-long debate 

In my head
