Oz

Those three words

Beautiful

Scary

And a million other adjectives

All swimming together inside me

A warm and confusing alphabet soup

Me

You

Acceptance

Of everything

Everyone

Before us.

Me

You

(Augustus,

Lynn)

And

Xavier

Josephine

Alison

Pete Parker.

I am

Dorothy

Curled up with Toto

Waiting for this spinning house to drop

On a technicolor dream.

There are miles to walk

In these ruby shoes

Before I sleep.
