lost notebooks

 i have so many tweets written down and lost in old notebooks,

drawings I adored and wanted to rip out, but kept inside for

the integrity of the spine, poems about my brother and poems

about the professor who just gave me a b-. stories of the way

i tripped down the stairs and how i like the way my new sweater 

sits on me. drawings of my body and face, in a way i can never 

quite return to, where i should have stopped trying to learn,

to quit while i was ahead. ive lost hundreds of notebooks with 

receipts and bookmarks, important dates that have come and 

gone, facts to remember, the best notebooks to buy next.
