Never... (Free verse) by jessicazee
sit with the door to your back
stay more than an hour anywhere
pay for water or ice
believe anyone who doubts your trust
put more toppings on a pizza than it can handle
use the phone when drunk
joke about your body's smell
think you know what a cat is saying
ignore large traffic signs
inhale the expired dairy
get serious on pills
kiss chapped lips
wait too long without gloves
wear a second-hand hat unwashed
assume everyone loves cornmeal mush
tell anyone the truth unless you can run really fast
recount a joke punchline first
admit you get starstruck
choose the discounted pregnancy test
pretend you can dance if you canât
but
always always
dance if you can
sit wherever you like
lean on the strong things
that marrow
they will always
always hold you up
