CRASH

I don’t wait for the elevator,

I fly down flights of stairs,

almost crash into Adam’s parents in the lobby.

Adam’s mother,

caramel bob,

coral nails,

his dad in a suit.

They kiss me on the cheek,

tell me they hope to see more of me.

I kiss them back blindly,

thunder booms outside.

Feather clouds swallowed

by a crashing, storming sky.
