GeoCities: my first homestead
until I moved out and the church moved in
white walls, lime walls, red walls
my walls, my public-private walls
The first good poem: parents posted it on the fridge
I ripped it off from a fansite, changed some details
they loved it so much, so much, told my aunts to read it
they never found out it wasn't mine
they never found out about my secret life

My first boyfiend: I never saw his face,
just his wolf avatar, or his Lion King 2 buddy icon, or his many roleplay characters
but I loved him the same, this boy I would never meet
but still forgot about || this boy I forgot about entirely
this boy with whom I role-played love for years
Growing pains: I moved out of Athens/Delphi/2011
and moved in and out of Angelfire
and moved in and out of Tripod
and moved in and out of Xoom
and moved in and out of Spaceports
and moved in and out of LiveJournal
and moved in and out of DiaryX
and moved in and out of 01101011 01101110 01101111 01110111 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01101101 01111001 01110011 01100101 01101100 01100110

| Color | Forest Green | because my sister painted her bedroom that color and I inherited her room |
| Pokemon | Oddish | because a boy picked it for me and I was scared to tell him I really liked Squirtle best |
| Movie | The Lion King | because I memorized it to impress him |
but still
in the end
I became myself yet again
I became myself again
I b e ca me myself again
I became myself yet again
