Untitled
December 8, 2016
On a sunny February morning
in ballroom at the Palace Hotel,
an 18-year-old stands nearby,
smiling politely but confidently
in his well-tailored suit.
His name is Kai Kloepfer and he’s from Colorado.
To Aurora Holmes he’s almost invisible.
Kloepfer has spent the past four years
at Boulder’s Fairview High School waiting for his chance.
Worse case scenario,
Aurora’s answer would be no.
He returns later stone-faced.
“Well, that was horrible,” he whispers.
