Audrey S - Week 5

I wish I was ten years old. I wish I was still playing Connect Four on the floor mattress with my dad, fingers crimson from Dorito dust. I wish I was learning about snow leopards and basilisk lizards for school projects, and itching to get home from after-school to watch animal documentaries. I wish I was eating at the table with my dad, forgetting to touch my food because NOVA was on. I wish… doesn’t do anything. College costs money, but Doritos and board games and TV shows didn’t feel like they did.
