do you feel it
the tension
building
the prickle
of electricity
of sweat on skin

in sighs, we wait
aching for the release
for the iron grey clouds
to #shed their weight of rain

I just want someone to look at me the way audience members at poetry readings look at their phones.

Sunday morning thought:

“You must never stop being whimsical.

And you must not, ever, give anyone else the responsibility for your life."

Dance to your music

Crisp air, sprouting leaves,
Glistening dewdrops shimmer –
Warm awakening.

Literacy is the path from slavery to freedom. But there are many kinds of slavery and many kinds of freedom. But reading is still the path.

'Alarm’ was originally a call to arms.

The Italian phrase ‘all’arme!’ means literally “to arms” or “to your weapons.”

We'd still probably hit 'snooze.'

of everything, and nothing, then being taught
to hide it, hide it as long and as well as you can.

Blue and pink
sunrise sky.
The perfect
backdrop for
barren branches.
A fitting canvas
for new dreams
and new chances.

When did little me
stop marveling at #infinity?
To what end?
What could I comprehend
that would make me believe
it's senseless?
Why forgo growth?
Why let go pursuit of intellect?
Why turn to neglect?
When did fighting vastness
stop being relentless?
