"When Mary Anne moved away
I barely ate. I lost weight.
Mother praised my slim figure.

I lay awake late at night,
wishing I could dance
away from my bedroom"

from the poem "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

"Last week, Grandma-in-Tampa died.
Ruth the executor
disinvited
our whole family from the funeral.
My father was livid
that Ruth had stolen Grandma’s estate.
I was just sad.

If I let my sadness out,
it would cover the world."

from the poem "Electricity (Tampa)"
