Would we be a disappointment
George Washington
Alexander Hamilton
Thomas Jefferson
John Jay
John Adams
James Madison
And more
We have monuments
To honor these people
A musical for one
A statue for another

Dear Every Single Girl
Dear every single girl,
You are beautiful
You don't need makeup
But if you like it
Wear it
You are strong
You don't need to prove it
But if you want to
If you want to show people

I no longer have a glimmer in my eyes
When I was young
My head was full of dreams
Of fantasies
My eyes
Shown
And glimmered
My mouth
Constantly moving
Spitting out ideas
Then I grew up
My head became full

For you?
Is my shirt
Too short
For you?
Is it
Too revealing
For you?
Is it
Too tight
For you?
Is it
Too low cut
For you?
Should I
Change
For you?

Him
He doesn’t look at me
Like I look at him
I know exactly what he does at recess
Where he eats lunch
His middle name
I know what books he likes
What video games
I’ve slept in the same room with him -
The Common Good
Democracy isn’t a mother
who shields you from the storm;
it’s the ghost of a father
who leaves when the lights flicker,
and promises turn to dust
in his palms. -
Two Homes, No Sanctuary
Two doors, both locked, neither mine.
Two names, one I gave up.
Two voices, both demanding I choose.
A home is a shelter. A home is a question. -
Slipping Through My Fingers
There’s this song,
Slipping Through My Fingers.
By ABBA. From Mamma Mia!
That's how I see it.
Our rights.
“I try to capture every minute.”

The Girl Inside
It’s only been a few days and sadness feels so far away
This feeling, it isn’t salvation
The girl who used to scream for others pains is shut out
She fights to be free, to make me suffer for something I don’t feel nor control
