I like so many songs that it's almost impossible to choose a favorite, but I do love "Seven" by Taylor Swift. The dreamy, wistful lyrics and soft melody take you back to a summer memory from early childhood--a memory that has been torn and blurred, but is still there nontheless, in the form of sweet tea settling on your tongue, of folklore passed on through generations. It tells of a love between two friends who dream of running away and being pirates and escaping all the hardship in their young lives, as wild and free as they every will be.

Australia
At school we draw in the margins of our notebook paper
and toy with the idea of moving to Australia.
We look up the latest news in between classes, knowing that
the teachers will think we're addicted to our phones.

Apple Cider
I want to drink apple cider with you
Like it’s a fine wine,
Make-believe adult, wrapped in your wool blanket,
Counting the minutes until your parents return.
