after we had Taco Bell breakfast for the first time
you told me:
“i felt way more emotionally close with Dennis Rodman after i listened to his Hall of Fame speech”
and that is just one part of the reason
that you are like staring into an iPhone.
i think
that it is part of the minimum of space between us
when i am looking at a bird
and you are thinking about Bruce Springsteen
and being 9 years old.
find me in my room
wearing your flower print leggings
find me spitting sunflower seeds
into a textbook
find me when you give up looking for your keys
lie down in bed
between the Winnie the Pooh doll
and the talking Cheburashka doll
look at the glow-in-the-dark skulls
that you put on my ceiling.
think about the way your own skull glows in the dark.
