(2014)
Didn’t they know that people cared? That they were loved? Why didn’t someone tell them?
The E’s squeak by The I’s are too excited The U’s come after Q But the A’s and the O’s They flow
Some I like to share Fresh out of the oven Don’t let it get cold That’s why I wrote it Emotions in that moment
Itus and Itis Crashed my party I didn’t invite them! I whisper to my sister They make my skin crawl
Destruction is fun But cannot be undone Smashed Trashed Crumpled
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
A fresh faced country girl Who pioneers on her bicycle Catches the eye Of a transplant from Houston Love begins through letters
An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it
I can feel it coming Decisions I can’t make Brain starts to freeze Fingers won’t work Sick of this disease
I am a consumer Female Twenties I buy Cheap clothes and lattes
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
If I could draw a tree In all it’s complexity Would you be impressed? If I could draw a human face It would be but a trace
Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field
Ask any female Love Is in the details I love you Three greatest words
Who’s the best? Ask my Daddy He’ll tell you Enthusiastically He always sees
