a poem

In the movie Sabrina, Audrey Hepburn famously says, “Paris is always a good idea.”

I used to wonder if choosing one person and rejecting all others would be hard; maybe a little scary even.

Woe to you if you live in a town that was up and coming in the 70’s.

What they don’t tell you but should tell you.

A poem.

It happened in elementary school. I was 8 years old, hanging out with my older sister one afternoon. With eyes wide she leaned in and carefully said to me, “Never ever, tell your friends who your crush is.”
