Given

Three things I like:

• People who hum along with songs in stores.
• Bright socks with somber outfits.
• Black women’s voices.

Three things I do not like:

• The intensely defined spaces between your teeth when you’ve just had them cleaned.
• Removing dark fingernail polish to find that my nails aren’t clean.
• The muffled “pink!” that moths make when they butt against the porch light in the dark.
