Yesterday, we decided
That potatoes taste like home.
We chose purple over pink
And ladybugs over butterflies.

We preferred our grandmother’s peanut-butter fudge
Over the kind in the store,
And agreed that wearing black is appropriate
At almost any occasion.

We found that the streets of Chicago
Are organized in a comprehensible fashion,
That luxury hotels
Are probably not worth it.

We laughed when she said “fountain,”
And I said “bubbler,”
When her accent
Was easily misunderstood.

I told her that her skin was always tan
Because of where her mother’s from.
She told me
That we have the same blood in our veins.

We told each other,
That we would chat again soon,
And kissed good-bye
Next to the Thai restaurant.

this poem "Conclusions" was awesome.  it should have been called "Memories" or "Thoughts of Us" or something like that.  It was such a sweet, homey feeling, remembering things that were simple and priceless as you grew up.  I loved it.  Keep writing!!!
