so this one time I was walking around outside, minding my own business and chewing some gum, when this bicyclist came by and waved hello.

of course, I waved and said “hello” back to him, but my gum flew out of my mouth and landed on his helmet. nobody noticed.

here I sit, with my face in my hand.
I’m bored; but tried and lazy.
lethargy? in deeds.

the balloon looms over me no more,
it popped! and, like confetti—
I collect the pieces.

permanently, but for what purpose?
the scraps can only stretch…
so many happiness.

he’d like to think that he’s great, but he is just the way he is.
she’d like to think that she’s beautiful, but she simply is not.

together, they’d be great. they could have fun and go venture.
apart, they’d be grand; alone but in correspondence.

until a cold respondence—
it creeped and crawled and no one noticed.
but it came.

and so now he sits on a bench.
still a child, the feet can’t reach.

then the questions smother his mouth.
they fill; to the brim and beyond.

they hug his tongue.

he looks down
and smiles.
and sleeps.

I really want to do everything today.

sometimes I wonder where I would like to go tomorrow. could I go to the sky? or take a trip to the moon?

these things are in my mind, perhaps.

let’s look at it sideways: there is trust in my mind—so I say “let’s be content with bananas and honey.”

and we decide to rest a while.

a small bit can last for today.
warm thoughts stay.
bitter thoughts lie.
