Poem: Lowers and dots and stripes

it’s crazy how comfortable patterns can make one feel

flowers and dots and stripes

 

my mom’s favourite sweater that is printed like a zebra

we bought it together on one of the shopping trips she took me on when i was 12 and all of my friends started to go shopping with each other but never with me

 

my grandparents’ rug that is a bold composition of ornaments

we used to play pirates and horses and house on it the whole afternoon when i was a little kid and it always felt like nothing bad could ever happen

 

my teacher’s bag that is covered in little santa clauses

i don’t really know him but how could you not feel comfortable around a person who uses a santa clause patterned tote bag during summer

 

my tendency to push people away as soon as they or i get too close

and yes, with that come such great feelings of loneliness and sadness, but they also go in hand with a certain feeling of comfort; i have been there before

it’s zebra printed, full of ornaments and little santa clauses

flowers and dots and stripes

always repeating, always going on

and on

and on

lowers and dots and stripes
