Do You Know What Scares Me Sometimes

do you know what scares me sometimes?

what will happen when I die.

 

I nearly died once,

when I was told I was moving (again).

away from the place I loved the most.

 

I think I’ll come back

as my opposite

I’ve already lived once,

my memory was just erased.

 

my opposite will be

a brown-skinned

lamb-haired

boy

who wears baggy basketball shorts down to his knees

and red t-shirts.

 

he will love basketball.

he will be christian

he will have a russian accent.

he will have trouble reading

he will have many friends and be handsome (although that’s not an opposite, just something i want).

 

most of all, though,

he will hate to write.
