American Attempting to personalize the political and politicize the personal.
coated in confidence, my cuticles grace over my keypads with an unruly air of sophistication. the tips of my fingers are a canvas to be removed in a week’s time. i am a modern day michelangelo, whose sistine chapel lives on in the form of hand gestures and improvised mannerisms. there is definitely something to be said regarding the prestige of polymer.

nail polish
My hypothetical goals lay ahead Their presence reminds me the reasons I tread towards a mindless existence. Each memory I led falls deeper heavy into caverns of thought. I'm forced upon valleys stone-filled and grey. The hard depths continue to oppress. Revolutions will be denied. I'm a drought of freedom unprepared for storms where opportunities might embrace.

Caverns and droughts
Mirror, mirror on my wall, every glance I do appall. My conscience tears through my wit, chasing sanity to its fit. Interlaced with grace and charm, these habits mask conscious alarm. Once delusions are unleashed, they trample and choke facts unseen. Alas I sigh at this note, where fear and shame stick to my coat. A worn mind I bid adieu, a tattered fragment must make-do.

These Demons (part deux)
Hello’s are comfortable In a world where awkward is dreaded, avoided desperately Goodbye’s are imminent. The closure concept never fails satisfaction When will the colloquialisms universally celebrated, contradict the least sought after desires of humanity? Our relationships are divided by stoppages in play. With swift waves of hands of fingers, compartmentalizing nothing, on a cluttered desk. Where was my hello?

Ring, ring...hello!
humanity remains inexplicable, in that conventional fears paralyze the movements of existence and routine. our foundations are binding, yet our projections are lonesome and divided.

We are fearful
My denim leg is perpendicular to my knee, I continue a light shaking of my foot. Its constant rhythm seems to match me internally. The couch is dull and used, with a history of insanity and progress. It never has intimidated me. I now sink hard into the cushion’s depths. His opposing presence tranquilizes the tangents and tragedies. My mouth releases words that first entered the gates of my conscious with astonishing ease. I am a balance, it’s all about the balance.

Reaching equilibrium
A reflection of silence wobbles her eardrums. The throbbing of her temple is an electric current of her descent, of her plateau. She remains a paralyzed catalyst, a blatant mirage into isolation.

Eardrums
Who knew happiness was rooted within. no need to sift through the old letters, they’re done. Reality is planted in the digits on the clock. irrelevant are remorse and guilt. While I challenge the hanging calendar, squeezing black-inked X’s over our history. I clench digits of some reality, only to discover madness, I’m done.

numerical reality
these demons entrance our reckless thoughts the devil teaching us to dance one two three four five six seven eight our breath and step align, to ensue impeccable time we sway between the lucid arms extended by our captor a lost count is inevitable, yet the music will never return straining for a lone note with cotton ball eardrums our steps cannot suffice the torn shreds of perfection

these demons
Yesterday was a ferris wheel. We floated through the lights, and held to the knowledge of what today might be. Our notions were false and naïve. There was hollowness, in the positivity of possibility. Our crutches crumbled, our future’s become translucent. Wipe the fog from your mirror, only our insignificant memories are left to repent.
