enormous bug wings flew in
circles. Jordan Air shoes. American flags
at schools are ripped. People can’t preach themselves.
God grows life. Sin curls under faith.
Grass grows green and under. Pacers blue
jerseys are really awesome. iPhones lay on.
Hair lines high like Lebron like Zellman’s friends
Mikcael and Luke.
Versace, Versave, your hairline got shot.
Girls, girls are lame.
You dusty, you think
fresh but now you are
not fresh.
Ever since you left it’s been very hard for me to stay strong. All those smiles, butterflies, giggling, blushing. All gone. I miss all those smiles. All my past reappears back in my life. You took them all with you when you left. Although I loved the way you made smiles when you took me out to the movies and acted like the characters in the movies. I’d laugh so hard we’d get kicked out of the movie theater. I miss the sound of your laugh.
Frost covers eyelashes and shattered glass
Tears frozen
Rhythm of feet on pavement mix
with the beats of a busted
up drum, still sounding.
My life’s music is still
off-beat.
Never to love, never to
care, no matter what, they
all share.
In a circle, they all have
problems, there’s no one else
no more options.
They all stay together,
thick and thin, no matter
the gender, women or men.
No acting, no pretend,
their family could never ever bend.
They all tell the truth, including
the shame, couldn’t stress enough,
this isn’t a game.
This is where it all boils
down, fire pits and lava falls, would
do anything for a drink of alcohol.
So much support, so many
friends, so many people willing to
lend a hand.
Kind hearts, kind people.
Don’t worry, they’ll be ex-alcoholics
in the next sequel.
I can see myself as a singer / actress / model. I want to marry Jawan Harris then divorce him for Jaden Smith. I will look like Myeisha and Toni. I will wear makeup every day even when I’m asleep. I will have long hair like Myeisha, and I will have no acne. I will wither go to Butler or IU or a college in New York; I haven’t decided yet. I will live in five mansions in China, Chicago, New York, Indianapolis, and Paris. I will have a lot of pets like Neo the dolphin, Halo the hippo, Pandora the panda, Macerio the monkey, Cookie the cat, Kady the kangaroo, and Daria the dog. I will have one hundred kids. Just kidding. Just four: Allie, Luke, Kurtis, and Chelsea. I will have a boat, jet, truck, SUV, RV, car, helicopter, train, and a bus. I will be twenty-three-years-old.
