I miss you

I miss you The way you smiled at the sun The way you danced and sung in the shower The way your creativity flowed freely When you painted with color When you lived with color I miss myself The way I used to wear dresses The way I used to run countless miles a day…

Midnight in L.A

As I study for my Law midterm tomorrow, my head spins like a tornado. It uncontrollably thinks about the equal protection clause and the menu for lunch tomorrow.

The little old man and his Peaches

Selling fruit to meet the demands To pay the bills To buy the medicine To feed the children The little old man drags his cart of fruit through the entire block Each strain displays how fatigued he is The array of sunlight beams on his sweat dripping face A form of hard work in a worn…
