Coco

She's finally ahead in the presidential race. The way my hope lifted when I heard that news. And the disbelief on my face? How, after ten months? I was sure I was going to be screaming from my porch on election day, "Why, why?

to tell a story 

                    is to give life — 

I listen to music 

On the bus 

With my teal earbuds. 

The songs 

Do not drown out the noise 

Do you remember the time

that you and I

spent in front of the TV?

We watched Disney cartoons

and the world around us

stopped.

I remember 

when nothing else mattered

and we could just be.
