I define myself by my honesty
and how many lists I make
of people I love.
I define myself
by the crosses on my 't's and how straight
my '9's are.
I define myself by a Frisbee
skimming three feet above the sand.
I define myself
by how loud I yell on roller-coasters
and how hard I laugh at pickup lines.
I define myself by the posters on the wall
the undeveloped pictures in my camera
how many e-mails are waiting to be answered.
I define myself
by how many poems
are waiting to be finished.
