When 

i was small

i used to sit 

in a yellow tonka truck

and ride down our driveway

and think about stuff…

like what it would be like 

to move the world 

like grown ups 

could…

i didn’t fall

as far 

then

as i do 

now

but even so,

i still dream 

of 

what 

it would look like

to build…

hope 

on sidewalks 

Never say die 😉

My name is Kimberly Vargas Agnese, though I've previously written as Kae Bucher. I was born in the Florida Keys, but grew up in the Bay Area before migrating south to the San Joaquin Valley. As I ride barefoot around Fresno, I consider the paths I've chosen and the crossroads where our country seems to have perched itself. Thanks to my Romani ancestry, many people groups reside within me and my poetry tends to reflect this. I love welcoming the sunrise with my Native American flute. I've been rumored to juggle while teaching students how to write. And if you can't find me, I'm probably hanging out with Jesus listening to parables.
