spring has sprung
boing
i drive to school with the windows down
pollen blows into my nose
i sneeze
achoo
outside my bedroom window children scream across the street
peewee soccer season is here
the ball is nearly the size of the children
they kick it with very little force
thunk
it’s still light out after dinner
i forget that i have to do my homework
i’d rather sit on the couch and listen to my dog bark at the birds chirping outside
tweet tweet
bark bark
the tree in my backyard has turned pink
long ago, we named her astrid
every morning i start my car with flower petals on my windshield
as the windows open, they blow into my car
woosh
they also make me sneeze
achoo
