9th Grade
Honorable Mention
Identity
Smell the rain on the wind,
inspiring a lazy sort of feeling,
bringing memories of the last time
it poured.
Taste a bit of vindaloo curry,
scald your mouth,
and savor the tang of the exotic
spice.
Listen to my entire itunes library
the pop, jazz, reggae, and oldies
—
invite me to sing along.
Pet a rabbit at the petting zoo,
going into sneezing fits as you
leave,
lasting the entire day.
See yourself
as you’re seeing me,
just as we really are.
