A regular Sunday afternoon My only company, the sound of the dryer Finishing my pb&j because I don’t want to do my homework Trying to occupy myself Just long enough to not analyse poetry for class And this is what I do every Sunday But I’m not going to remember it I won’t be feeling like this on Monday When I’m back at school and my work is due This feeling of a quiet Sunday is short lived For it only lives on Sundays No feelings ever last Like the feelings I felt a year ago I don’t know what it feels like To drive on silverbell and almost be home To eat lunch outside by the track To say “booksack” and not have to laugh it off when I get questioned For everyone to know my real name To not be annoyed at my parents every time they speak To have dark hardwood floors To have lots of friends I can’t think of anything else I forgot But I have to go finish my homework now
