with tea and art on the floor

"i want the love in my life to feel like a deep breath, a blushing laugh, a view across the sea of cortez always expanding wider glowing. i want the experience of love to lift me up and dance during dinner even when my little sister says she'll pay me $5.00 not to. i'm learning to reinvent what being with a boy can be like. maybe its a fort instead of a movie, with lots of shel silverstein reading out loud or a spring night with tea and art on the floor."
