Little Memories
I was born in this city.
On 60 something street and York ave.
We moved a lot.
I used to beg my parents to live in a house, like on television.
My parents always said a house was too much work, and too much money.
They were trying to get away from their childhoods. Their Long Island upbringings. The TV was always on while we ate because it was something they weren’t allowed.
I went to 10th street Tots for pre-school
I spent my summers in a Super Girl bathing suit wheeling my stuffed bear Adrian around in a stroller. She wore baby clothes from the Salvation Army. I was obsessed with the Wizard of Oz and My Little Pony.
My imaginary friends were the other members of my all girl pop band called “The Hot Girls”
I was 5 years old. Dancing around to a Debbie Gibson tape my aunt handed down to me on my moms walkman.
I miss the days where being The Little Mermaid when I grew up was a fesiable option.
