Square Pegs
She smacks
her gum, flaps
her hands about
like a chicken.
My eyes roll
like flat tires,
fingers wriggle
like bait.
We're perfect
for another.

- "That's the price tag, no discounts, no bargains. Losing my first love was like living in a perfect house, with the perfect front porch and matching dormers where the key finally worked to let me in, until without enough warning, it caught fire and was gone, leaving a thin coat of ash that would gray my life for years, making me cry when I saw a perfect front porch or a light shining from an upstairs window."- The One & Only Aunt Nancy
