Huge fake flowers in a fake bin at Hobby Lobby

Giants in Technicolor

I wish I could have dreams like that.
Not this boring real-life crap.

I want to dream of giant flowers,
Of googly-eyed monsters, of adventures like that.
Of impossibles possible, the unimagined.
Of insides outside, of outsides in.

If only I could choose my dreams like that.

Flowering bush with white flowers

Is it today?

Turning point.
They say there’s a turning point.
They say there will be one.

Is it today?

Isn’t it that magical day, today?
Doesn’t it all become clear, today?
Won’t I learn not to fear, today?

Baring a hollow display, today.

Too much.
Too late
to wait.

Today.

Jazzy Jellies ride at SeaWorld - from underneath

Sometimes

Sometimes…
I look so far ahead
I forget I’m standing in quicksand.

Sometimes…
I look so close to me
I think there’s nothing else to see.

It’s a walk in the park.
I hear.

Take a stab in the dark.
No fear.

But, no, no…
No, no, no…

Not this girl.

Sometimes…
I try so hard for sight
I end up with my eyes pressed shut.

Sometimes…
I try so hard to be
I forget the she who is me.

Not this girl.
Not this girl.

Emergency Arrows on a Plane Wing

Spitting

I spit the words.
They land and splatter.

I walk away.
Let someone else clean it up.

I spit the words.
They land and splatter.

I’ve missed my mark.
My turn to clean.

I spit the words,
But I’m looking up.

I close my eyes
As it lands on my face.

I spit the words.
And run away.

I’ve done the damage.
It’s time to leave.
