part 1: potatoes

i met my very first
love at first sight
at a potato festival
in rural Estonia
i might have been 12
if you're reading this, Tõnis
that's all i remember
Hi, I'm Benedikte
and this is the beginning
of everything that came after you

i can't tell you much
about what was my childhood
i was too busy overregulating
but my broken lovelife
started at around 14
and it literally took me seconds
between each attempt
to start and fail

ms Independent is fierce on her own
as a colleague and Uber driver
but within the choices i've made
the bee becomes an ant
to be trampled on
covered by a tall glass
so i know i can fly away
but it's transparent walls
hold my soul hostage

part 1 of let's find out
shall we?
