that redbull and cigarette smell
I probably miss it
making Esther
Raushenbush
Library an alright place to be
Library an alright place to be
like a scary party
our favorite things are
there
to push back against our
least favorite things
to sneak underneath,
above, and around them
like its happenstance
that we are where we are
but can you directly base
your life
on whiskers on kittens? I'm trying…
like that one night we
all played in the dirt
why did we only do that
once
no one’s “hey beautiful”
will ever
mean the same thing to us.
we’ll be wishing it was
around
every corner for the rest
of our lives.
