My family was not religious as I grew up<\/p>\n
Nor are they now<\/p>\n
But we always celebrated Easter<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kites flying above<\/p>\n
Eggs filled with trinkets<\/p>\n
Baskets hidden in the dryer, we always forget<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Toys with a toothy rabbit<\/p>\n
Chicks on the cheap plastic<\/p>\n
I don’t even like carrots<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On those sunny Easter Sundays<\/p>\n
I learned to hate the sunshine<\/p>\n
Associated it with bickering<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The happiness I felt turned sour<\/p>\n
Much like the eggs<\/p>\n
Fresh ocean air became suffocating<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Distracting myself with bubbles<\/p>\n
Brothers putting paper grass in my hair<\/p>\n
Driving with the top down<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Baskets soon stopped<\/p>\n
No celebration<\/p>\n
Dyeing eggs with beer<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What holiday changes dates every year?<\/p>\n
Confusing<\/p>\n
Upsetting<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
