Hope, Action

Christine Rodriguez

baby you got me so high right now
with that noise maker in your mouth
and the way you pause when you pull it out to speak his name
sends a charge up and down my spine
making me turn my head around again and again
catching sparks in the eyes of my neighbors
we never stopped cheering, did we?

so full of pride
I could burst
you vogue up and down the hall way
as usual, but there’s an extra step in your stroll

yes, I noticed

your standard shade replaced with light
and I see you smiling to yourself when no ones looking
for the first time you’re thinking

that could be me

and for the first time I’m thinking
hope could be an action
