Assessment Day
It is Assessment Day, and we must go to the Laboratory. My sister, Moriah, and I walk down the gray stone steps of our house hand in hand to our gray hovering transport. If it were a skipping stone, it would be a good one. Moriah is chattering about the blue bird she saw as we were eating chocolate chip pancakes this morning.

What I Wish to Tell You
I sit in my favorite down town café with my usual order: medium Peanut Butter Mocha Frappuccino with no whip, no drizzle. $4.49. During the summer it was $4.50 even, but now I get a penny back, and get to think that I’m lucky. I sit at my usual high table with bar stool, so I can sit or stand as I please. My lap top is open with a fresh, new document ready to go. She should be here any minute. In my head, I practice what I’m going to say to her. You turned out just fine, after all. You never lost the taste buds to enjoy dinosaur egg oatmeal and Lucky Charms. You’ve made a career of your art, music, and writing. Good for you! High School was not a bad as you thought it would be. Crushes really are not that big of a deal. You really should wait until you’re thirty to date. It’s kind of a waste of time.

Foreign Deja Vu
You need to go to the store. Eggs Milk Bread Toilet paper When you get to the store, you can’t find a place to park. Everyone in Springfield is there. You patiently patrol until you find a spot in the very last row furthest from the entrance. You’re young, it’s okay if you must walk. You step through the automatic doors, and the greeter says hi. You say hi back and grab a cart. You wait in line to get a sanitizer wipe. You have never had to wait in line just to get a sanitizer wipe before. When you do get to the stand, you only take one. The greeter walks over, grabs your cart, and thanks you. She says people have been greedy. A corner of your mouth pulls up and you say it’s not a problem.
