1 and 2 Poems

I. Saturday

is a 30 pound blanket

That chased you around

on Friday afternoon

until you fell and got all wrapped up

She’s a possessive control freak

you fall in love with

Black eyes

A violin prodigy

The expensive sustainably made sweaters

Make you so jealous!

You understand yourself

To be the devil herself,

Because Saturday

would have it no other way

II.

7:30 pm

wants to uplift you

He sits at the table with your family

during dinner

Your mom likes him

Because he carries

lamps

She asks

What his college plans are?

And what neighborhood he’s from.

Afterwards

He he gives a wave

Puts an arm around you

You get on his bike

Handlebars-

Off to that great

teenage place!
