I wrote this originally back in 2009. I took an intro to creative writing class and got my feelings hurt pretty badly about my writing, but overall, I think it helped me improve. This poem reflects when I started focusing more on imagery than content. I was also reading a lot of ee cummings at the time.

This is an explanation of what this corner of the website is about, haha.

I... don't even know what this person's profile was about. I think... balloons... somehow? Or the Indian Ocean was mentioned? The Indian Ocean is awfully specific, so it probably involved that—yeah, we'll go with that.

I don't remember this person either, but I remember their profile mentioning Christmas lights. It must have been cuffing season because I was thinking how cool would it be to go see the amazing Christmas lights with this person in a wealthy pocket of Dallas, where all the houses compete to have the most incredible, hilariously over-the-top Christmas lights out of the whole neighborhood.

This person must have had something on their profile about liking coffee. I don't remember the particulars, but I penned this to them as a poem inspired by their profile.
