Arbor

I almost never clean my glassesthe correct way and I admitthat they are not nowwhat they used to be.I used to see so far and readthe signs without the moneyto be bigger on such old paperthey would always slowly fade.A neighbor sprayed the bird shitoff her garden statues with an old hoseshe could barely keep […]

Murk

I never listen so the best I dois watch sometimes when I amnot lost in investments of my eyes.Blades of grass bent at ninety degreeangles by the others waitingrestlessly to meet up and discusswhere they’ve been going. It doesn’t matter how you holdthe steering wheel as long asall your will is in control of it.Sometimes […]

Cave

Well now I think its […]

The Students

She hangs the banners upeveryday around the dining hall,where everyone enjoys what they haveworked for. The sad truth that isn’t really sadis that they’re must be painexchanged for what’s important. For everyone that’s never had a sayI hate to break it to you,but it’s been you that’s never let goof that choice. A kind of […]
