A Poem for Sarah's Letters

originally by my roommate redkneesocks (I'll admit a few minor adjustments)

           Where will we put our lists tomorrow? And when

will your pen, like an arrow (or tacks) shoot ink

into checklists to mark lonely boxes?

So

I make lists for hard tomorrows; I'm drawn

to opening too many doors

at the same time; tiskets and taskets

and orange wooden baskets make whirlwinds

of ungrouped to-dos in my minds room;

do you forget that I borrowed that jawn

and coated it with the facts? but as for now

I'm booked from dawn to morning twelve o'clocks

forehead to socks

breakfasts to desserts,

coats and snow to autumn lawns, and i don't know

when or where I'll find my own season.

But acts of happies (like hula hoop sharing

and colored marker doodles) force importants to matter.
