A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 90

Day 90: “If My Life Was Written and Directed by Nora Ephron”

---

Sometimes I imagine what it’d be like 

To live in a 90s rom com 

---

I’d live in New York 

Obviously 

---

I’d own a book store

Or be a writer

Or be a writer who owns a book store

---

And I’d meet the love of my life online 

My computer chiming, “You’ve got mail”

---

I’d wear clothes that are comfy, effortless, stylish 

My name would be an alliteration 

---

I’d battle the big bad chain store

Only to be put out of business and have to start my life over

Have to chase other dreams

---

And the love I met online would end up doing the tiny, little thing — you know, putting me out of business 

---

Yet he’d regain my trust

Become my friend 

---

And then we’d meet 

And kiss in Riverside Park 

---

And I’d publish a children’s book

---

Well, my life is not written and directed by Nora Ephron

---

But I’ve found my love

We did meet online

Just via an app instead of a chat room

---

I already model my fashion after Meg Ryan in the 90s

---

Now I just have to chase my dreams 

Become a bookshop owner 

Or a writer 

Or a writer who owns a book shop 

---

Publish a book 

---

And live happily ever after
