they say older is better. they lied.
by Rachelle Howei sit here pondering stupid questions
like if you had a full head of hair
when the doctors handed you back in the delivery room.
you're becoming a little sister to me.
i always wanted one of those.
i thought you'd come to me on christmas morning,
all wrapped up in gossamer
instead, you come, clothed
in words and metaphors
which is twice the gift.
