Airport Love
A Nonet
Here is a small, strange, and telling thing:
I have always loved the airport.
My heart for the liminal,
and moments ungrounded -
this is at the root
of our distance.
Spurning roots,
I chose
flight

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
