however cliché‚ cheesy‚ or over-used that phrase may seem‚ I learned it to be very true a few months ago.

This poem follows many of Dickinson’s typical formal patterns—the ABCB rhyme scheme‚ the rhythmic use of the dash to interrupt the flow—but has a more regular meter‚ so that the first and third lines in each

We were the only two kids with lesbian parents‚ so we were close as could be. When I was in the fourth grade‚ my mom had a nervous breakdown.

I was a changed person by the intervention by my teacher Mrs. Mathur. I stood under the archway of the main gates and gazed back at my school in farewell. The building shimmered in heat haze like a scene of of a dream. How different it had been when I was enrolled in it. I fancied myself an astute observer of people. Impatient as mustard seeds sputtering in oil‚ that’s what you are! My mother would exclaim every time I would come back from school and start playing right away. I wouldn’t study until
