Wow. Cleverly written.

Judging Comment:

This poet is unburdened by complicated language, it's a breath of fresh air. It's almost written like a story, the details ("down the sides of our cardboard box home and into the empty turtle shells of our pets we couldn't afford to feed,") serving to express who the characters are, their morals, their expectations. They find joy in the simplest things, even the things that don't exist, such as their imaginary jobs, their imaginary marker, etc. Reading this piece just makes me happy. Clever ideas, such as having a book as a roof so you can "read each other to sleep every night" are probably a hint at what this poet can do.
The last stanza is by far my favorite, it shows how free these characters are, how happy they are with having nothing but each other and their imagination. My only suggestion on this poem is to fix the few run-on lines with some line breaks, but otherwise, great job!
