1991
eleven
dad's 39th birthday
yellow cake in a yellow kitchen
a kodak moment
i was consumed with worry
that my dad was getting so old,
so near death
silly girl
1999
nineteen
off to london, alone
sans luggage
the texan, ever looking up
at the grey blue british skies
unknowingly growing into herself
2001
UT sophomore
clock radio blares news
as alien as a martian invasion
new york on fire, buildings crumbling
a global gasp of fear
our nation cries itself to sleep
2004
landed smack dab back in the heart of texas
spiritually wayward
post-californian apocalype
dejected, confused boredom
2009
my peers are starting to turn thirty
enjoying marriage and family and suburban pleasures
while i wander
(but am not lost)
living the dream in guate
