above average by Elaine Sun   



 i. 
 euna refers to a 'recent break up' 
 says feelings of anxiety and sadness are normal 

 so i walk and look people in the eyes 

 i smile back 

 ii. 
 i got drunk and danced 
 my body hit other bodies and sometimes the wall or the floor 

 upstairs alone i stood looking at a closed door 
 covered with unfamiliar posters 
 and stopped smiling 

 pictured fireworks blossoming behind my forehead in slow motion
