we have hail in our freezer from the storm last night...

did you know

i can be dramatic

but

in a way that will make you laugh

~

did you know

i forgive easily

but

probably won't ever forget what you did or said

~

did you know

i consider myself ordinary

but

will use big words sometimes when i talk

just to throw you off a bit

~

did you know

i easily forget if i locked the door behind me

but

will remember the phone number

to the plumber

i called once

three months ago

along

with his name

license number

where his children go to school

and

the last book he read when he was having a slow day

*

because

the black and white photos

i've been taking recently

have settled comfortably into my heart

i decided to let them stretch out a bit

and

gave them

a home of their own
