Maleficent (A Poem Draft)
I want to rip up the papers on my desk
walk out with gleaming eyes
become the problem child
jump cut to me on the subway
listening to a hand picked soundtrack of
rebellion and excitement
turning the key in the lock
With flurries of fabric I pack my life into a suitcase
write a note-- see you soon (maybe)
cut my hair
until it only looks good at a certain angle
get the passport
go out the door
transition to me at the window seat on a plane
going who knows where
crying at the end of a movie
so hard
the woman next to me calls the flight attendant
and she will ask me "what's wrong?"
and there is no plausible answer
walk out with gleaming eyes
become the problem child
jump cut to me on the subway
listening to a hand picked soundtrack of
rebellion and excitement
turning the key in the lock
With flurries of fabric I pack my life into a suitcase
write a note-- see you soon (maybe)
cut my hair
until it only looks good at a certain angle
get the passport
go out the door
transition to me at the window seat on a plane
going who knows where
crying at the end of a movie
so hard
the woman next to me calls the flight attendant
and she will ask me "what's wrong?"
and there is no plausible answer
