Fake Door County Trip (Free verse) by jessicazee
Teeth with your lights on:
white hairs, dusty shoulders,
your socks and underneaths very
yellowed and your armpits hopefully
unlovable
I want to tell you that you are unbleachable
For the last two years I
kept a white vellum envelope
thick with ragged coupons in case
that one time our trip to the store
would be handbasketed, I'd find you
between "natural redheads" and "big
asses" before the cleared history
when my birthday trip up North
was fun and you told me my hair
"looked better,"
that made me feel
so good, when I turned older than you
on the thumb of Wisconsin's palm.
