vacation days III

III.

I always thought

that fresh things were better

than saved things, but now

I think I’ll buy

some zip-lock bags

and call it a day

because

my sloppy eagerness,

whispered words,

and green lights kisses

make me

feel anything

but okay.

  1. I think this poem could be completely misunderstood--if one were to think it was about sexual purity of something of that nature. It's not. Though "green light kisses" does sort of communicate something stronger than I wanted. Oh well. I liked the line.

  2. I like this... It feels like it reminds me of something I can't remember.

  3. I didn't think it sexual. I second Daniel - felt more like a strange nostalgia of ideas never put into words.
