i don't
i don't understand
how torn fingers don't bleed when they grasp hands
why the sky is only black or blue, only bruised
how Ariel breathes, sings, and sleeps under the sea
what the iris' of our eyes are made of.

most of all i don't understand
how hours make up years
why tears cover faces
what a million dollars feels like under broken nails
school

what i understand is
boxed chocolates made of kindness
one person's ability to change the world
the name of ten cities i've never been to
and the importance of strangers.

olv
winter coated boys grasp footballs through gloved fingers
filipino egg rolls soar out next door windows
whispered wishes of plaid skirt, bare kneed girls
stale chocolate milk stains
i'll stay.
