strange little love notes

dear sister,
since you moved to florida,
i've become a little o.c.d. about cleaning the bathroom.
the sink is clear of your hairspray stickiness . . .
and feels like it's missing something now.
dear sister,
i kind of wish i could steal bites of your
animal crackers right now.
~~~
dear sister,
it's not as much fun getting ready for church on sundays
when i don't have to tip-toe around
your shoes.
dear sister,
i miss your off-the-wall boy advice,
requests to smoke inside my car
{okay, that only happened once}
and
general disregard for mother's requests
for you to take out the garbage.
i miss how very opposite
and
how very much the same
we are together.
