LIFE: the good the bad
Earl grey tea
Food that is free
A walk by the sea
Tex mex
Being called “becks”
Receiving a text
My grandma’s hands
Working on a tan
That predators drive white vans
Visiting a new town
Judson wearing a gown
That Gillian’s mom was a clown
A really sharp, fine point pen
John chris and jenny—scott and lynn
Cheese pizza with crust that is thin
The smell of freshly cut grass
Where you sit on the first day of class
That in NewYork, I don’t have to buy gas
Being passed up by the police
learning about the birds and the bees
That one day I’ll have a niece
Not having to be in a hurry
Little animals, as they scurry
Realizing that there’s no reason to worry
Kelly is allergic to dairy
Our best babysitter, her name was Carrie
Jenny said "eww" at "Madison Shoshanna Larry"
Bapa loved brain teasers
Leslie gave me a slip for easter
It’s in my jeans to be a people pleaser
A Silky dress with nice luster
Good times at Dave and Busters
How I ever got the the concept of polymer structures
checking the last thing off my list
when kids call the teacher “miss”
when cynthia’s boyfriend played "gorillas in the mist"
someone doing a switch leap
the feeling you have when you’re in a a jeep
I know at easter there will be peeps
Thankgod it’s out of style to dress like a peasant
And I’m thankful that I’m not from mount pleasant
Christmas eve we went to toy’s r us because mom forgot to buy my present
I felt so proud when I made my fist meringue pie
I’ve grown a little mole on the inside of my thigh
When the whole family took a trip to best buy
Watching youtubes in pater’s bed
Ooops...we grew up chewing on lead
Camp mystic
The shape of my mother’s lipstick
This dance the older girls did to the song “whip it”
The time that mom got pulled over and we got McDonalds, instead of a ticket
Doing my best
Maggie and my eating contest
Anna loves America’s expansion west
Amiga’s excitement when I fill her bowl
When I finally learned how to use charcoal
When my mother reads me “Bambi” en espanol
The word mess hall
When Mom was hello dolly in the charity ball
It must be a funny view at a dance if you’re real tall
When I can have more
Being comfy with being a bore
When the rockets score
When cassidy pooped on my floor '
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'
Watching people play tether
The way I feel depends on good weather
That my mom and dad got back together
Meredith’s atomic bleached blonde hair
watching the world shrink as I ascend in the air
finding a group that will play truth or dare
when I actually get somewhere early
the character on lost, that is hurley
when landrie’s hair is curly curly
funny designs on tacky lighters
That my jeans used to be tighter
The punchiness that comes with an all nighter
Being a Tonkawa means being true
and mary liz gives me her old shoes
That my biggest competition was in a canoe
Waking up to birds that sing
When Stephanie and I were ching and ling
That someone thought I had a promise ring
When people get along
Finding my new favorite song
That people spend a bunch of $$ on breakable bongs
Finding a dandelion or anything of luck
Reaching in my jeans and finding a buck
That my only detention was for my shirt being untucked
Waiting on my tea to steep
When I cannot CANNOT fall asleep
Or watching someone as they weep
Name and City dropping
Having to pee while I’m shopping
When some people just won’t stop talking
Credit cards, phones--things that I lose
Seeing an animal that’s been abused
Storing a number that I know I won’t use
When your roommates steal your tide
When you have an asshole tour guide
Or keeping something from a friend, because she wont take my side
That I can’t have a dog
That I realized that I love egg nog
That I ever feigned interest in playing pogs
When I’m bad about saving a dime
The morning after having too much wine
When I can’t be 2 places at the same time
Being talked to like I’m not smart
Spending a year with someone with a blackened heart
And that some people live out of a cart
skinning your knee
when my parents find out I got an overdraft fee
that a distant cousin couldn’t be a coast guard because he’s allergic to bees
when I’m asked to do math on the spot
when someone looses their job to a silly robot
when I accidentally consume something that’s too hot
not getting a seat on the train
to think of a loved one that’s in pain
not remembering someone’s name
sitting next to a chatty kathy on a plane*
when the alarm’s waking you up from the neighbor's room
that someone decided to make the Oklahoma city building go BOOM
that the swiffer thinks it can replace the broom
that I will probably not be able to be mummified in a tomb
life looks up and sometimes down
but something good is always around
if you look it will be found
for in this world beauty abounds
