        21. about the author


      		unfinished


      I feel restless,
      like a playground ghost
      telling human stories to a swing set,
      remembering a girl with a
      goldfish smile, the sort of
      perpetual happiness
      that comes from living
      on the high end of
      a seesaw.

      the sun was restless
      that afternoon, and when
      our chalk skylines got
      smudged by storm clouds,
      the sidewalks echoed
      the forecast of rain like
      footsteps
      in the puddles she left
      beneath the thunder,
      and that familiar acid reflux
      still rises in my throat like
      gasoline;
      my stomach stalls out
      and I feel restless
      again,
