i put my barbies in a pale pink trunk
THEY GOT THROWN AWAY
I WALKED EVERYWHERE
I PLAYED DING DONG DITCH WITH ELEXIS
AND RODE BIKES
WITH FLOR
I SHARED CLOTHES WITH AMY
AND RODE THE BUS WITH ISA
I HID DAD’S BELT UNDER THE SINK
AND DROPPED MY CD PLAYER
DOWN THE STAIRS
I THREW MY SHOES IN A BUCKET
I LOST MY SHOES
I SNUCK INTO GRANDMA’S ROOM
MY NOSE HURT FROM SMELLING HER PERFUME
I ATE DINNER ON THE FLOOR
I ATE DINNER ON THE DECK
I STOMPED IN THE GARDEN
AND SKID MY KNEES ON THE GRAVEL
I SWUNG ON CLOTHESLINES
AND SWAM IN THE NEIGHBOR’S POOL
I SHARED A ROOM WITH THREE SIBLINGS
