if my house burnt down
So many many poems
I hope when I die they do something with them
this isn't really a poem, it's just
sort of a message
see, I wonder when I'm gone
who's gonna remember my pen names
on 30 different websites
who's gonna know where to find my words
to find my heart, on paper
or on html...whatever
I mean I'm only sixteen but I girl's gotta worry
about things like that
I mean girls, we're supposed to worry bout everything
I mean, most girls know what they want their wedding ring to look like
not me, I don't like that stuff really, it's just a ring goddamn it
But who's gonna know
I mean what happens if my house burns down
there go all my poems
since I was six, that's a decade right there
a decade of like a zillion poems and songs and stories
and strange personal essays, something I invented I think
at least I've never seen any others
so who's gonna know
I mean, really who the hell would know?
After all, on the outside
no one could even tell, they couldn't even take a guess
that I have pen names, and notebooks
notebooks galore.
