Asphalt and concrete
Scattered with long jagged bolts –
Mirrored in gray skies

You’re a Different Person Now
You’re a different person now.
I understand that
Conceptually.
But when I look at your face,
I see the person I knew,
A person who’s no longer
Entirely you.
And I can’t treat you
Like a stranger off the street,
Someone I’ve never met.
So how can I meet you
When I can’t forget?
Books
My nemesis is my true love(s)
Who holds me in its sway
No matter how I fight
Or resist its call
Eventually, I obey.
I Checked My Brain on a Flight to Spain
I checked my brain on a flight to Spain
And naively paid the fee,
But when we reached the airport,
I found myself brain-free.
The flight company waived all fault.
Insurance would not pay.
But why someone would want my brain,
I honestly cannot say.
Schedule
Something I cannot (apparently) keep
Consistent: a seemingly
Hopeless
Endeavor,
Doomed to fail repeatedly
Until or unless I (alone)
Learn and make an
Effort to change.
Easter Egg Hunt
Flashes of color
Snuck between grass, leaves, and earth:
Squeals, laughter, and tears.
Anxiety
An earthquake bursting inside your chest
Like a tremor through your very soul:
Which is more frightening –
Fear itself
Or this reaction beyond control?
