Thank you, Allison

Dear Allison,

Whether you know this or not you were a major influence on my life and an inspiration. You changed my perception and made me see the world as simply as you do. You reminded me that people aren't one dimensional, a lesson I treasure greatly. Really thank you. Oh and you brought me all the things you found that were shiny or pretty so that was an extrea bonus. I can't think of a better way to explain you than this: A note you left me in my little book of poems that you loved to read. You called the book my soul. This was all the advice I'll ever need.



Life, by Allison Wang



See

A square

A circle

An obtuse triangle

An infinite number

Of shapes.



Smell

the air of a new spring day

a chick

a cub

a new animal

is born.



Hear

the deaths of many

a shriek

a screech

a SCREAM

Silence.



But feel,

Alive.
