Chasing Pavements by Adele

samantha

it is odd returning
to you
this time.

i cannot remember
who i am
                   to you.

i am still valedictorian

and captain
of the varsity
soccer team,

the girl
your son has loved
since high school.

it is seven years later.
you've changed,
she said.

and i have.

i am like
flat eggplant

on the kitchen table,
all fuzzed up

in some sort
of weird
vegetarian shell.
