. the smashed word broken .

Several people from high school have emailed me in the past two weeks ...

Congratulating me about my books and Nikki's super great newspaper article ...

Shocking the holy bajeezus out of me ...

I was a typical blonde haired, blue eyed girl in high school. But I tend to wonder ...

Do you think they remember? Do you think they remember how they dedicated "Super Freak" to me at my senior prom? Or how they pulled my hair during half time at a basketball game? Or how they called me a dumb bitch every ... single ... day? Or how they shoved me into lockers "accidentally"?

Part of me hopes they don't.

let it go – the
e.e. cummings

let it go – the
smashed word broken
open vow or
the oath cracked length
wise – let it go it
was sworn to
go

let them go – the
truthful liars and
the false fair friends
and the boths and
neithers – you must let them go they
were born
to go

let all go – the
big small middling
tall bigger really
the biggest and all
things – let all go
dear

so comes love
