I Am Very Bored

School starts in two days. Everyone asks if I am excited. 
Well, no, not really. It happens every year and will happen for three more years of high school after this one. I've been going to school since kindergarten. I'm ready for school, but I'm not excited. It's been too long since I've seen most of my friends, and I'm ready to get back to an exact schedule of classes all day and homework put off as long as possible, but I'm not really excited. 
School is just something that happens. 
And it's happening in two days.

A Poem

I wrote a poem at roughly midnight. Here you go.



The Spineless
Or, The Books We Dream About

These are the books we treasure--
The ones that have been read over and over
And over and over
For years.

These are the books we dream about--
The books we fall in love with
And get in trouble for reading class.

These are the books we will read until
We are old and grey,
The books we will pass on to our children,
And they
To their children.

These are the books we stay up reading under the covers
Into the wee hours of the morning.

Their ink is faded and they are lucky
If they still have
Any covers at all.

They have spines of duct tape
With titles scrawled on in Sharpie
And will, no matter what other great books we read,
Always be
Our favorites.

They have tattered, worn pages
Held in with shoddily placed Scotch tape.

These are the books that we buy multiple copies of--
And we wear down, wear out,
Every copy.

The good books,
The really good ones,
Are easy to spot
Because
They are
Stained and ripped
And read and adored
Until they are spineless.
You're welcome.
