This is my last summer before everything changes
people keep saying that
i'm trying to feel it
i mostly feel like it's july
and i have work at six

A rocket is mostly fuel
the payload tiny at the top
almost everything burned away
just to lift the small thing
i think about what i carry
what i burn through
just to get the small thing
where it's going

Showing up is the whole thing
not perfectly
not loudly
just showing up
again
and then again
the work is long
we were always going to be tired
we show up tired

Geese are rude
and loud
and will chase you across a parking lot
for no reason
i respect them enormously

The library of congress holds
every book published in america
since 1870
every thought anyone thought worth printing
walking through it
i felt small
in the right way

something happened today
i almost texted you
had my thumb on your name
put my phone down
made tea instead
which is not the same
but it's something

I had seven summer jobs
between fifteen and twenty-two
each one taught me something
none of it what the job was supposed to teach
what i learned: how to show up
how to leave
how to get paid

3am writing is different
no filter
no audience
no tomorrow yet
just the words
and the dark
and the one lamp

The best gift is the same every year
everyone around the table
nobody missing this time
i ask for this every year
some years i get it

I thought i knew what love was
turns out i knew what
wanting someone to stay
feels like
different thing
harder thing
mine thing
