Introduction to People That Don't Talk Much

June 1, 2014

My name is Emily,

my name is cageless bird

and Saturday afternoons.

I talk to myself and write poems,

witch is basically the same thing.

I have too many questions

to ever be answered

and I like drinking tea.

Some day I'll go to Europe,

some day I'll dance barefoot

on broken streets.

Maybe I just want to get out

of this lifeless neighborhood,

And I want old friends

to stop telling me

how to get to the sea.

My favorite things

are writing letters to strangers

and tracing maps

with my finger tips.

I love my dog

and I love the Beatles.

Sometimes I wonder

if there's anyone

who wanders around

like I do: aimlessly.

and wonders

if there is someone out there

who is as human as they are.

If you are reading this,

know I am real,

and my words have made their way

to you.
