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
