(no subject)
think of things
like a pretty puppy's eyes
like free beer and pizza pies
like candle light and waves
like pink skies on perfect summer days
like the smell of soft grass growing in soft soft dirt
like layers of wall paper seen through one small rip
like your first banana split
think of things
like new shoes
like crowds of people all admiring you
like the way your hair smells when you release it from a ponytail
like listening well
like laying out blankets in the bed of a river
like twirling under the moon without any shivers
like changing your clothes in the alley before school
like the ripest pear
like helping a friend because you really do care
think of things
like babies smiling in their sleep
like sneaking out at night
like climbing trees and roofs
and carving hearts in the roots
think of midnight mixed with every color you can think of
think of
the most you can make of it
think of
all that honest love
