(all the things you’re not)
Tara Roeder
slow and steady; an encyclopedia; floating above mount vesuvius; a starfish; saying my name; drawing turtles in the sand with your finger; bursting into bloom; a pediatrician; doing the charleston; making me pancakes; an hourglass; crawling toward a mirage in a state of fever; kansas; a collection of rocks; exceptionally kind; glowing radioactively; buying me flowers; two small boys under a trenchcoat; extremely tall; pretending anymore; an ant hill; buying a starship; in my bed
