dc.description.abstract	For my 8th grade WA state history project, I learned that an asterisk on a Costco sign means that the item will leave soon. A few months after my project, I was eating the salsa and said to my mom, “May it never have an asterisk.” I jokingly said it could be a poem. I wrote multiple stanzas; it was the first poem I ever wrote and the only one I've written for fun. The next year, the asterisk actually arrived, and I wrote the last two stanzas. Here we are four years later, and it has not returned since.	en
