The bed creaks at night.
I tossed and turned
Just like I did
When I made spaghetti
One night at home.
Spaghetti and meatballs.
Meatballs sound so good right now.
Especially the ones from IKEA.
My sister spent a lot of time there.
Looking at furniture,
Comparing prices.
When before we just
Bought what we wanted.
Buying things.
Shopping seems like
Every single woman’s favorite hobby
Right next to flirting.
I don’t flirt.
But I do love grocery shopping.
Does that count?
Others say it doesn’t.
Some people still count
Tibet as part of China.
So I guess
I could be considered a woman.
It just depends on
What side of the border you’re on.
Tibet.
Mom’s going to Tibet.
Abandoning my younger sister in Korea
In order to ‘find herself’.
Never in her life
Has my sister been
Left behind in a foreign country before.
I’m pretty sure she’ll get used to it.
We all had to.
I just hope my sister doesn’t
Fall off a cliff over there.
Like I almost did.
Cliff hanger.
I hope this poem doesn’t
end in-
