in elementary school i would lie

about people that were related to me.

i'm sorry; aunt jemima isn't my mom's sister.

i'm most aware that i'm watching a movie

when actor is portraying a real person,

but for some reason when i watch the movie

selena, i feel like i'm watching selena,

and not jennifer lopez.

for most of may, i wanted banana split pie

from marie callender's, but i went there

the second day of june and it was already gone.

i hope that i get to eat some day.

life's a novel;

i read the spark notes.

the more i read about richard nixon,

i start to think that maybe he wasn't as bad

of a guy as everyone makes him out to be.

but to be fair, i didn't know him.

so, i guess my opinion doesn't matter much.

i felt really cheated the summer after fourth grade

when i found out that you didn't need to buy

the actual mac n' cheese box in order to make 

macaroni and cheese.

my mom cuts the grass in my family,

but no one takes it as an aim at my father's masculinity.

we just all agree that for some reason

she really enjoys doing yard work.

i live my life in the loop.

that's not poetic;

i live inside 410.

this is just to say.
