used to wear oversized, mismatched shoes
used to put lipstick on perfectly
used to play house
used to jump on the trampoline
used to eat raisins
used to make huge, round periods at the ends of my sentences
used to read on the curb at recess
used to fake cough
used to sit and play in laundry baskets
used to eat vienna sausages
used to want to be the teacher's special helper
used to wear pins
used to want happy meals
used to be afraid to wear my glasses
this is so familiar i could cry. i miss being so young. great poem.
