Templar Dr.

oh to think two years ago…

zero waste shops
and foam surfboards 
an almost graduation 

house packed with seven girls 

and a hole in the ceiling;

two weeks of nonstop tiger king 
reading psalms on rooftops 
songs almost done 

a summer fling 

and a hole in the ceiling;

pink bougainvillea overgrown 
ATM lines run rows and rows 
a broken A/C in 94

takeout only, drop it at the door 

and a hole in the ceiling; 


lemon bars and lightened hair 
poison ivy, the ER didn’t care 
climbed the tower a little too high

slacklined and a little boy said hi 

and a hole in the ceiling; 

police came and kicked me out 
can’t hang a hammock in the park 
a drive through the desert with a wheel not straight 

love quickley turns to hate 

and a hole in the ceiling; 


waves glow in the dark 
dance, jump, and spin 
a repierced noise with a safety pin 

a solo swim across a lake in Hetch hetchy 
singing christmas carols in Jtree

pack the car and go 
hoping for gas stations along the way 
feet in the clover one last time 

and a hole in the ceiling 
all along was revealing- 


and you wouldn’t change a thing.
