In middle school, I found a Pokémon watch in an antique store./
“I am not an antique yet!” I said to no one in particular./
Poetry
Autumn, Arriving (and other poems)
Last night I slept in the yard again,/
bedded in unmowed fescue and clover./ I covered myself in a blanket of black walnuts.
The Mountain (and other poems)
When they find the empty box,/
they will be even more bewildered.
