to-do list

this summer,
i'm going to drink sweet tea
until my teeth hurt
and read library books
all day long
losing myself in worlds
not my own.
listen to albums
straight through,
one complete masterpiece.
(important things take time)
paint pictures of places i've been.
think.
write letters
to friends overseas
crafting sentences
that explain what it's like
to wait
to sit alone.

thin spaces

once,
the world
said
come closer

all the
worse
we
listened
and now
we can't
get back
out
again

so much
color
and
curiousity
