Attached as if our skin
is patched together
by the red strings of fate
that signify forever.

In times where reality
is restricted and numb,
virtual spaces become
the commonality.

Owning a cat relies on give and take.
I give the beans a tiny squeeze and
she takes a chunk of my skin.

Dinner is unknown.
Nothing here sounds good to eat.
F*ck it; I'll just starve.

Words only cut skin-deep if you
Don't take anything to heart.

Inflated egos float up
to the summit with fates
cradled in each hand to
decide whether we peak
or plummet.

Always here to almost
There but sometimes
Near and just barely
Alive to cease to exist--
Wait a minute.
Who are you?

Following the path less taken
Over all the low roads and
Routes plummeting towards the craven
Gateways of Hell takes the travelers
Into enlightenment. Those who avoid Satan's
Vengeance and forked whispers
Emerge from the waters of the lake in
Nature's womb veiled in holy layers
Encompassing their soul. This ache in
Society seeps into the bones of naysayers
Slandering the purging powers of equal pardon.

All the flowers in his pocket and
Bruises covering his knees
Couldn’t hide the satisfaction
Decorating his chubby little face.
Every surface inch on his
Favorite pair of jeans was unprotected from
Grass stains and dirt cakes. Oh,
How our father would tear
Into him later. It was worth it when the
Junior high school quarterback
Kindly accepted his confession instead of
Laughing like the adults surrounding the pair.
Mom thought it was cute how the little oblivious
Nine-year-old boy had gotten down on
One knee, arms outstretched, as if he were
Proposing to his babysitter. They joke when it’s a child, but
Quickly shun their once loved ones by forcing them to
Run away from home. It wasn’t funny when our
Sister vanished from existence after coming out
To our religious family. They don’t laugh at
Us when we mutter her name. That girl,
Valerie, left all but one shred of existential evidence
When leaving us for good. Hidden amongst the trees are
Xylographed initials made by lovers over
Yonder in the suburb parks where the human
Zoo couldn’t keep them under watchful eyes.
