I cannot be the only one who thought the Colosseum was like Madison Square Garden

Hey now hey now have you fed your inner tween today pastel sequinned baguette bags double locked dear diary what a day to fall for your best friend is love holding hands does it still have a favorite color why pink and purple some choc-mint ice-cream lick it with gusto donโ€™t worry donโ€™t know about male gaze and Lolitafication ride your bike badly itโ€™s ok you learned to read early you donโ€™t read books you eat books and thatโ€™s a phrase you stole from a biography about Henry K-I-S-S-I-N-Ger ew no cooties for you yet you are too precocious and too smart and too pretty everyone tells dad you will be a handful in a handful of years all potential wonโ€™t be lost to time is not like the present never stops being embarrassing to ask mom to buy you tampons even if you get a Kit-Kat from the checkout aisle up the memories and realize it is not a place for singing turns out it was just stone ruins sitting there for like forever.


This poem was heavily inspired by watching Pixarโ€™s Turning Red (Iโ€™ve watched it twice its soooo good!!!) and remembering I wasnโ€™t born cool. So the poetry prompt is to either watch that or take an hour of your day to honor the little awkward cocoon-human you were before you emerged as an adult butterfly! Canโ€™t wait to read it!

big kiss,

-L
