What I Did In 5th Grade

passed notes to the boy
I called the r-word + his mangled last name*
but still

Love in the Future Probably
In this world
I keep you in a tablet,
And one ill-fitting case

On faulty plastic/glass/alloy
In this world I will fix you
Form-fitting, with a handle

With the quiet chill
Different worlds awake
Adjusting to forgotten seasons
So that I may remember
How it felt to dream so young.
