Happenstance
by April Hanna
April Hanna is a recent graduate from Ramapo College of New Jersey majoring in communication arts with a writing concentration. Born in May (not April), her work focuses on the inevitable humor that exists within the gravity of the human experience. April is also an avid supporter of the Oxford comma. When not writing poetry, you can find April playing the bass on @aprilplaysbass (Instagram) and endlessly searching for the next best cup of coffee.
Dear me,
The GPS said go left.
No, your other left.
You’ll never make detective.
But you already knew that.
Dear me,
Your parents didn’t give a damn
That you were born in March
So they named you
Well, me.
