THREE THINGS
I read a book
Called Tell Me Three Things
Kind of a weird concept
A girl gets an email
From a secret admirer
Who won't tell her who he is
They email back and forth
And play this game -
Is there a problem?
"Good morning, class.
On each of your desks, you will find
A copy of the school dress code
To remind you of what clothing
Has been deemed inappropriate for school." -
SUMMER
Summer is pool parties and barbeques
Socially distant or not
Watching shooting stars and fireworks
And being another year older.
Summer is sunkissed raspberries
Cherries, peaches, mint lemonade -
THE MORNING ROUTINE OF AN (EXTREMELY CONFLICTED) FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL
Please no sun
I'm still asleep
It's only (looks at clock) nine thirty
Five more minutes
Whyyyyyy do I have to get up
I have no plans for the day
Ugh fine I'm up. -
The womyn in the hallway
When you met her
In the hallway at your workplace
You shook her hand,
You smiled, and asked her name,
You complimented her dress
And the color of her nails
And you told her
How nice it was to meet her -
PRETTY HURTS
"Mama said, 'you're a pretty girl
What's in your head, it doesn't matter
Brush your hair, fix your teeth
What you wear, is all that matters.'"
- Beyonce, Pretty Hurts
