Young Adult
I lost you in those sidewalks
each crack and each stone
we trampled
on sweaty summer days
*
My thighs were glued together
on your leather car seat
and I hoped you wouldn’t notice
*
Someone glued me into the section
of the library
the “Young Adult” section
because I am not married
and I am still too dependent.
But the inner-life of a 14 year old will win
no awards
and I have stopped worrying about
what the neighbor thinks
years ago.
*
I peeled my skin
so it wouldn’t be left in
your eco-friendly car.
*
I sketched you in an outline
but you fell into those cracks
we joked would break your mother’s back.
