excerpts from (11/10)


when I am told to not look / I don't / when I know not to look / I peak / I hide my face in my 3- wheeler / stroller taking me past the man / he has 1.5 legs / in the shopping center on 24th & Oregon

I gave permission to give away my wheels / I was 4 / going on 5 / and I liked to walk

I walk 15 minutes to the subway / 15 minutes from


a bang / bang / boom / I also roll myself in tiny / tiny / ball / 2 knees / to 1 chin

one time I yanked my sister's / ass-length / strawberry-blonde hair / pulled her to the ground / taught her a lesson / or 2 / I was 4 / got her in trouble / 3.5 years my senior / now she is the pretty one / I am her butler / I should mind this dynamic 


in 6th grade I stubbed my toe / ripped it / off wearing my baby blue / Old Navy / flip flops / flip flip I fell fell
lost it/ not the toe/ just the tip/

1 block from home / 3 from grandma's / mom took me there /poured peroxide / she used to in my ears / they still work / my toe almost / 2 weeks they were getting there / my class started pointe / so I started pointe
