this weekend was...

aim
packing
chipotle

long car rides
city lights
starry skies
socks that didn't
belong to me
and cold
cold knees

this weekend was

morning
shorts
breakfast outdoor
and
bright yellow pencils
with glittery cushions

journals
paper bags
a violin playing
and a stuffy
cabin room

secret elbow messages
blue ink
and paper cup after paper cup
of fail
a little girl
on her 16th round
filling half a cup of lemonade
and half a cup of water

this weekend was

encouragement notes
and grassy fields
and crying
like a girl

beaches
with dead birds
and taking pictures
and digging holes

burying people
in the sand
and eric accidentally spitting
on his own shoulder

this weekend was

a bucket
with sand
and feet

swedish fish
and touch screen phones
a pizza dinner
and a walk
or two
or three

wash basins of
feet and
....
well
feet

laughing
and crying
and laughing
and hugging

and praying
and knowing
and guessing
and failing
and laughing some more

and dumb picnic table games
and bad spot picking
and laughing
at the dumbest things

and praying
and falling asleep
and long drives
and not falling asleep

vietnamese food
threadmills
kindergarten yearbooks
tigers
and zebras

quilts
auctions
and confetti
friends
a skirt

and advice
...
that was a little harsher
than i would have liked
