Intimate Poem

Dear Future Self,
You better become an Astronaut.
I want to see you fly into space.
Watch you shoot into the sky,
like a giant bullet.
So I will wait for you.
Until you launch into space,
and look over the world

This is Just to Say

I hit
two girls
in the head
with a dodge ball.

I didn't
mean to,
it just
happened.

I am
sorry.
But they should have
sucked it up.
