fog

“Carpe diem.”

“Seize the day.”

One time i wrote on the car window

“Run away with me” When it was foggy.

I thought it was a beautiful and wistful thing to say

When i was young.

My mom’s boyfriend believed otherwise;

He began flipping chairs and tables.

His belief in that saying was that my mom was,

Unfaithful.

He didn’t know that i wrote it.

I never spoke up.

I never wrote on window fog again either.
