On Wednesday my boyfriend gave me the receipt from the restaurant we ate at the night he confessed his attraction to me. It was one of the nicest things someone (outside of my parents) ever gave me.

As I Walked Out One Evening
As I walked out one evening, Walking down Bristol Street, The crowds upon the pavement Were fields of harvest wheat.

She was sick with famine fever and could not keep up. He lifted her and put her on his back. He walked like that west and north. Until at nightfall under freezing stars they arrived.

Sometimes things aren’t that great and, while I overthink things, I remember small stuff that happened and I distort them and I make myself feel worse and I admit it’s my fault. My point is that sometimes I remember about poetry and how...
