#hellokitty - Hello Poetry

Swing time is over. I’m tired and wander through an apocalyptic portal; albeit a motel. Landscapes of red dunes brandish the theme and the hot air hits me square in the face. I am in Modesto. A classic motif of the 80s dullness ascribed to each room of this Motel 8. Then there is one room completely covered in everything Hello Kitty. Sanrio is serious. The bed spread, the rugs, the pictures hung askew with intent That sent me into a sleep I can only surmise as a coma. Dreaming to sleep.

I keep getting this urge To tell strangers How you used to bring a can of Chef Boyardee To school for lunch everyday. Or how I used to collect Plastic Hello Kitty cupcake rings And give them to you Just to see you smile. I would laugh as you ate it cold, plastic fork suspended straight from the can. I would smile with you, and hope you didn't realize I ate all those cupcakes by myself. I want to share you with the world Take your memory with me in my pockets Spill it out with my tongue I want to share you with the world, Introduce you to people you will never meet Tell people about you Because they will never get the chance To get to know you like I did Like we all did. But when you took your life, You did the world a disservice You took away the world's chance to find you So you could find yourself You took away your opportunities To change To get better To grow To love And be loved How we loved You. Your smile Your eyes Your soul All so bright Like stars in sky Stars that you snuffed out Stars that we can't gaze at anymore. Your constellation is lost Just a fairytale now But a favorite amongst us all
