By Devon Borkowski<\/em><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

We own our troop 2006 daisy blue vests<\/p>\n

With our names written on the inside collar in black felt-tipped marker,<\/p>\n

And the bits of string and feather you braided into my hair<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We own the Ben Franklin Museum<\/p>\n

The static electricity that crackled on our fingertips<\/p>\n

And the sound of that colossal heart beating<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We own our sleeping bags<\/p>\n

And the story of the jersey devil<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We own my glow in the dark braces<\/p>\n

And the surgical knife that New York City doctor used to open up your jaw<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And Top Gun and Terminator and every song on the Next to Normal soundtrack<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We own the sound of your bed frame creaking<\/p>\n

The sound of horror podcasts after your sister had gone to sleep<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We own the shitty haircuts we gave each other two days before prom<\/p>\n

The word homophobic<\/p>\n

And Sweet Caroline<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We own tequila sunrises<\/p>\n

And your apartment in PA<\/p>\n

With the little dog yapping outside that ostensibly belongs to your neighbor<\/p>\n

But belongs to us too<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We own the confession booth at Saint Mary’s<\/p>\n

And all the secrets left in it<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We own the wide open woods where we took off our t-shirts that one hot summer<\/p>\n

And ran around barefoot in our bras<\/p>\n

Pretending to be lost boys<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
