"you are all planets and i am a rocket.
i have always been a rocket.
when i visit you, i visit a different world
which is fine and all. i just have to make sure
to don my spacesuit of pink puffy dresses
and lipstick, or else you've got a
murder on your hands."
rocket ship girls is Elizabeth Johnston's debut poetry collection about girlhood, blind devotion, and changing who you are for the wrong people.
