In Five Months- On Expectations K. Michelle Sellers   In five months we probably would be racing to read each other’s thoughts In five months we’d paint each other silly running down hallways Chasing waves like orgasms and crying on the floor We laughed too much   In five months, I’d tell you that I’d finish up my first semester of grad school Passing both classes   In five months we’d already have thirty coffee dates, two sleepless nights of Yawning, talking each other’s ears off   In five months we’d probably set sail to place markings on trailheads In five months I would tell you that I don’t feel anything a tingle butterfly Dead in my soul   In five months you would have mustered up the courage to be with me- At some random thought at some random place   In five months I’d fallen once again with the same excitement I once had over green earrings In five months we’d be comfortable to enjoy pointing out miniscule pinholes in the night’s sky   In five months we’d have already painted the town of laughter heart mending 1920’s Giggly water   In five months I’d look back at the same place same time where we were standing Going Hoping And dreaming   In five months half of this poem came true      1Sellers: In Five MonthsPublished by Dominican Scholar,
