i like bad music

today i noticed a strawberry mark on my leg
before i even put my eyes on

productivity is like a type of apple that doesn't grow anymore
it's like Ryan coming from washington to carolina just to eat a washington apple

i want to make a sign that says POEMS ISN'T ABOUT HANDWRITING
now is not the time to be concerned
with how my future signature will sign

i love you this much
i wish we were in a hammock

i halfheartedly looked for you

in the grocery store


i keep thinking i'll see you
choosing from ten thousand tomato sauces

i sometimes think about your angry mouth

i wanted you to know, i listened to the message you left
over the summer
at least three times before making my decision

do you remember when we cut tiny speech bubbles
for the people in the toile wall paper?

"do you want these apples?"
---"no"

I'm engaged!

Officially the future Mrs. Jillian Ramey....!
