when you and I were sixteen
and our parents felt like our children
or our boyfriends wanted to be our boy friends
we wrote silly lists that made us smile:
crackling ice cubes
unfortunate last names
hand-me-downs
hearing a song you love but forgot about
anything colour-coded
running for the bus and just making it
snowflakes caught in eyelashes
holding hands
small dogs on staircases
Simon & Garfunkel
the word “chesterfield”
flared nostrils
waking up with perfect hair
waking up with ridiculously bad hair
finger-painting
messages fingered in mirror steam
profound graffiti
talkative strangers
old friends

What's on your smile list?

I love crackling ice cubes. :) I also love replaying old games I haven't played in a long time and forgot most of the secrets.
friends who write lovely poems on just the day when I feel like I need to read something lovely.
