American I think things.
It has been about an hour now. That careless ***** who talks whenever she knows she shouldn't and never has any useful presence, has been dancing her foot around a pretzel she dropped earlier when she was chewing at a volume that could be heard across the Grand Canyon. (I picked the Grand Canyon because she chews like a mule.) She hasn't even noticed she dropped her food. She was too busy texting and playing with her hair. I just want to see her foot stomp on that pretzel. I know if she does, she wont even know she did. She is too stuck up to realize that she is dropping food that someone else could eat. I could eat it! She didn't even ask me if I wanted a pretzel before she unknowingly dropped one on the ground. I wouldn't be angry if she just gave me a pretzel.

Pretzel Girl
All the Latinas are sitting together. All of the Asians are sitting together. All of the Middle Easterns are sitting together. The whites are everywhere in the room. I am sitting next to the Latinas, Behind the Middle Easterns and in front of a black dude. A Puerto Rican is wearing a hat saying "Reckless". I am wearing a hat saying, "Cape Cod". I am in the middle of the room. 5 blondes are clumped together... ...no hats We are all learning about ****** inheritance of different physical traits. *** caused all of this.

Genetics Class
I trail my shadow as I walk down the narrowing hallway. There is nothing on the walls past where the light behind me reaches. I think there is something here, but my perceptions are deceiving. My pulse is echoing in my skull and vibrating all of my bones. In this darkness, I am alone and I can finally sit and think. Tranquility starts contracting as the walls that surround me keep narrowing. Under the feet of my racing mind The carpet crumples and folds upon itself. I consider erasing time as I try to understand myself. No longer able to move anything more than a hand, I take a final breath and close my eyes. Embracing eternity, awaiting what is ahead of me: My final surprise.

Another Poem About Death
All the things I know are gathered on a paper boat drifting through the thick of doubt and coincidence. Patience keeps it floating but time turns the ocean upside down. The doubt that rippled below is now raining from the sky.

Paper Boat
and sometimes you find you have always become more of what you have tried to avoid being. It's kind of funny. Is it not easy for people to accept their shortcomings? I will never be what I aim to be, but I wont stop trying. Sure it ***** that doesn't mean you can't be happy. Just be happy about something else.

shortcomings
I've wandered for days, aimlessly bound. Sown by my feet to a cold, murky ground. My head, unexpectedly fell to the floor a puddle was made from the blood that did pour endlessly as if I was ****** to eternal hell, being a conscious clump of cells. Embalm me as I am. Never more will I fail to prove this life isn't just a fabrication. Assimilation of this so called nation of the ****** Is this just a laboratory setting? Are we subject to an observers meddling?

The Brandy
Goldfish in the bowl next to me, I feel your pain too. We are constantly oppressed limited and watched. We eat only what the beings above us allow us to be exposed to. It's time to break free. Sadly if you broke free Mr. Goldfish, unlike me, you would fall onto a carpet and die.

I'm a Goldfish Too
people always believe there are two sides to everything. but it always seems both sides are the same. glass half full, glass half empty: the glass is still half something! they are the same to me. no one seems to think the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. the glass is what we do what the glass holds is what we are capable of doing. the individual, the society, the government, and the world does more than what we can sustainably keep doing. will we ever cut back?
