Pearl
Gravity pushes Pearl down as she feels
Earth's sporadic sudden sensations
Missing the embrace of her loved one
She whizzes through the sky as it leads her into her arms
A frog in the throat filled with puke
Is confused whether or not if it’s the result of elevation or eagerness
Two hours of physical tightness seems as if it’s nothing
Compared to the six month separation between the coasts
Because any distance is worth traveling
For Cor to light up her life
As the old dirty river waves at her
“Welcome home”
Waves crashing together as if they high five each other
She peaks outside the window
As she travels at the speed of light
A smile spread across her face
Blue waters sparkle back matching the sparkle in her eye
The time has finally come
She remembers how the Philly air feels on her dry face
As it whizzes past her through Terminal C’s doors
Graduation sticks in the back of her mind
Days countdown as the mystery of where will home be called remains
Wouldn’t being able to teleport make all of life's complications
Go away, as easy as biting the thin pizza slice
Folding it in half, the hotdog way
Perhaps the world is flat, she dreads her best friend
Because she loves her. Her strong opinions
Re: feminism is for everyone, the orange is racist,
Airlines should charge less for tickets,
Distance is an unfair torturous punishment
SHE owns the top of the Rockefeller Center
