if i had a problem
with letting go of things
you wouldn't be sitting on your ***
in a large pile
of things i decided
i didn't want....
but you are.
(just to clarify)

I hope when you wake up
and realize where you are
that you will make friends
with the boy who asked me out
when i was seventeen
and find some small enjoyment
in all the cherry lifesavers
and heck
maybe even have a lovely conversation
with my
mother
while knitting
using all the pattern books
she ever gave me
(too bad she couldn't knit herself a new family)
and drinking the tea
that i got
every christmas
from my aunt.

in other words
enjoy
all the other things
i didn't
want
