Are you the same Kristine
I knew from seventh grade?
Yeah it’s definitely you
Just with a new last name
Someone who laughed a lot
Is what I remember the most
But the face in your profile
Suggests maybe not so much anymore
Cause I got the emails
These last two years every day
And I just don’t reply because
I don’t really know what to say
Kristine from the seventh grad?
The anger, the all caps
And all th? pseudoscience
The misspellings, the must be on purpose
We went to a good school, Kristine
So what would you imagine I might
Take from this deluge of memes
The cryptic, dark Bible quotes
Guns and dead fetuses
Kristine, seriously, are you okay?
Cause this world can be
Wonderful too
Do you ever see it that way?
Kristine from the seventh grade
There’s a break in the rain
A perfect time for a walk
The smell of wet leaves
And warm smiles and hellos
These things exist in the real world, you know
Oh what a shame, Kristine
This disease that makes strangers of friends
But if these days it’s really “us’s” and “them’s”
I want to you to take me off of both of those lists
Cause this world can be
So wonderful too
Do you ever see it that way?
