im a bathtub full of luke warm water. tic tac toe in red crayon on the kids menu mom never lets me win. itching the mosquito bites on my legs. eating frosted flakes out of the box sugar gets stuck in my nails. morning eyes that never go away no matter how much you rub them. they say don't paint your kitchen red because it will make you hungry but red is a beautiful color. Dad talks to Shakespeare's ghost, “Make me like romeo.” Mom reads his books, “Make me Juliet.”
